12. The four types of people, and the four ways to treat them
This episode is the four types of people, and the four ways to treat them. Otherwise known as the four locks and the four keys. Otherwise known as sutra 1:33!
See the show notes
Sutra 1:33 is:
'By cultivating attitudes of friendliness towards the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous and disregard toward the wicked, the mind retains its undisturbed calmness.'
This is such an important and incredibly useful sutra. If someone tells us they got a promotion or they've met someone they're really excited about, our first thought is to compare that to our own life 'I haven't had a promotion in years' or 'things are a bit stale in my relationship at the moment'. If someone tell us that they're struggling, things at home are just too tough or work is way too much of a challenge, we compare that to our own lives. When someone mentions they've volunteered for a charity or run 10k for the first time or they're learning a new language, we immediately start to think of our own achievements, and if there's wicked, non-virtuous actions, we condemn them and think how we'd never, ever do something like that.
As you may, or may not know, yoga is the state of a peaceful mind - AND it's the practice of working towards that state of a peaceful mind too.
In this episode, we break down how the four locks, and the four keys help us cultivate, and retain, a peaceful mind.
