Yoga Sutra 1.20 describes the essential qualities required for a seeker to progress on the path of yoga and attain samadhi, the ultimate state of union and liberation. According to Patanjali, faith (shraddha), energy (virya), memory (smriti), deep concentration (samadhi), and true wisdom (prajna) are the five vital components that sustain and strengthen the aspirant’s spiritual journey. Faith provides the foundation of trust in the process, while energy gives the perseverance to overcome challenges. Memory helps one retain the insights gained through practice, and concentration allows the mind to remain steady amidst distractions. Ultimately, wisdom arises as the fruit of disciplined effort and unwavering devotion. visit:- https://www.yogkulam.org/blog/yoga-sutra-1-20-sraddha-virya-smrti-samadhi-prajna-purvaka-itaresam
