The tenet of aparigraha or non-acquisitiveness liberates one from greed, envy, and lust. The desire to possess material and the desire to control the mind of another are perhaps the biggest sources of conflict, which manifest themselves as chaos and confusion. The entire code of conduct laid out in the yogasutras is minimalist. It is only through such practice that it is possible to attempt self realisation. In a de-cluttered and cleansed arena, the distractions move away, making way for deeper appreciation and awareness. There is a greater sense of order, clarity and awareness of values. Unburdening of stress and anxiety make positive and correct actions possible.
