Patanjali's Yoga Sutras
The literal translation of yogas chitta vritti nirodha is as follows:
YOGA = to yoke, to join, to unite
CHITTA = consciousness
VRITTI = fluctuations
NIRODAH = quieting of
It’s quite impossible to remove the fluctuations of the mind because the mind is always thinking — that’s what it does.
However, what the author of the Yoga Sutras (Patanjali) is teaching us here has to do with a method of quieting the mind, which is a system of practices that leads us to mental peace. (Learn more in Who is Patanjali: An Introduction to the Father of Yoga.)
These fluctuations that Patanjali refers to have to do with desires, aversions, attachments, ignorance and the ego's sense of “I” and “me” and “mine."
This phrase, “yogas chitta vritti nirodha,” is stated in Yoga Sutra 1.2. The heart of what Patanjali is addressing here is our consciousness as human beings.
