Yoga, Freud, Psychology, Mind analysis, Conscious self,

Abstract Both Freud and Patañjali analyze the mind. Freud analyzes the mind as having three constituent parts, namely, the Id, the Ego and the Super-ego. The Id, according to Freud, is the unconscious instinctual urge seeking to fulfill the desires of the senses. It is untamed and unaccepted by society. It’s a bundle of instinctual drives which seeks instant satisfaction of sensual drives. The ego is a function that seeks to satisfy both the drives of id and the social norms. In a way it’s a training to adjust the base, unconscious drives of the id with the acceptable society. The super-ego is the instructor; the instructor comes in the form of parents and later the teachers, peers, ideal persons take over that place. This can be called as conscience that is formed by the instructors or models to live by in the society. In summary the analysis of Freud stops with examining the mind as to how it adjusts with the society without depriving the base drives of the id. The ego is the mediator between the id and the super-ego. That way it’s an adjustment to live peacefully in society. Patañjali analyzes the mind as a series of activities. The activities are of five types: right knowledge, wrong knowledge, imagination, sleep and memory. These are termed as ‘modifications’ meaning that the activities are in constant change. If one identifies with these activities that one would be in anguish; if one goes beyond the activities by merely looking upon them as the activities of the mind, that one would be in the state of non-anguish. Patañjali concludes that the mind is a lower state of reality and that which observes the mind is a superior reality. That superior reality he calls as the Self. Once a person realizes that s/he is not the changing mind but an observer of the mind that person realizes the nature of Self. That realization of the Self is liberation from all the anguish of the world. Though both Freud and Patañjali analyze the mind, they differ greatly. Whereas Freud stops with the analysis of the mind, Patañjali goes beyond the mind, searches deeply for an agent that analyzes the mind. That agent is the consciousness which is conscious of the lower reality, the mind. As long as a person identifies herself/himself with the lower reality, i.e., the changing mind, one is in anguish and in bondage. When a person sees the separation between the conscious agent (Self) and the mind, that one is freed from the bondage and attains the liberation.
