विपर्यस्ता मतिर्या सा भ्रांतिरित्यभिधीयते ॥ दुःखमज्ञानजं पुंसां चित्तस्याध्यात्मिकं विदुः ॥ ६ ॥

That which is opposed to the mind is called illusion. It is understood that suffering caused by ignorance is the spiritual cause of the mind.

आधिभौतिकमंगोत्थं यच्च दुःखं पुरा कृतैः ॥ आधिदैविकमाख्यातमशन्यस्त्रविषादिकम् ॥ ७ ॥

The pain caused by the past is the result of the transcendental bliss. It is described as the adhidaivika, the thunderbolt, the weapon and the poison.

इच्छाविघातजं मोक्षं दौर्मनस्यं प्रचक्षते ॥ विषयेषु विचित्रेषु विभ्रमस्तत्र लोलता ॥ ८ ॥

Dejectedness is the agitation due to the frustration of desires. Indulgence in diverse sensual objects is the overfondness for them.

शान्तेष्वेतेषु विघ्नेषु योगासक्तस्य योगिनः ॥ उपसर्गाः प्रवर्तंते दिव्यास्ते सिद्धिसूचकाः ॥ ९ ॥

When the obstacles subside and the Yogin is absorbed in Yoga the signs begin to appear. They are divine indications of the imminent success.
