Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. The root distraction, Klesa, is Avidya, ignorance of our true nature. The Vedantic idea that Avidya consists of concealment of truth and then a projection of a false superimposition is explained as the root of all Klesas. When you start your spiritual life, you start swimming against the natural current so psychological obstacles start being felt. The main ones are disease, conflicts, doubts, carelessness, laziness, inability to renounce old pleasure seeking patterns, and false experiences. According to the Bhagavad Gita, the sign of a great yogi is his inner contentment and lack of obstacles. Verses: II.1, II.3, II.4, II.30
