Patanjali 2.30: Yama
consists of
non-violence,
truthfulness,
non-stealing,
continence,
and
non-greed
Patanjali 2.32: Niyama
consists of
purity,
contentment,
accepting but not causing pain (TAPAH),
study
of spiritual books (SVADHYAYA)
and worship of God [self-surrender]
(ISVARAPRANIDHANANI).
Patanjali 1.33:
By cultivating attitudes of
friendliness
towards the happy,
compassion
for the unhappy,
delight
in the virtuous,
and
disregard toward the
wicked,
the mind-stuff
retains
its undisturbed calmness.
