This comment from my Master was too important to be lost in the "comments" section:
While doing Sadhana whenever the ego and egocentric vulgarities such as lust, greed, anger and passion arise even a little, destroy them immediately by means of Dharana, or Dhyana. One technique from Patanjali Yoga Sutras chap 3 is to bring the shape, brightness and radiance of the sun to the Muladhara Chakra. The mind at times will dash towards sense-objects or subjects again and once again, this because for hundreds of lives we have been asserting and striving at the ego-level. It is very pertinent that we shift our attention to techniques as proposed by sages such as Adi Sankara, Patanjali, Krishna, and etc.
Continuing on the Ashta Anga path, we can end all misconceptions. How much you have studied is not the most crucial, but how much you have moved away from it matters. Ultimately, practice to remove all superimpositons.
