There are four main objectives of Yog – treatment of diseases, maintaining good health, development of consciousness and accomplishment. Yog is mainly the experience of elements, which are focused on the internal development. One can achieve control over speech, collection, lust, sensory organs, behaviour, character, and tongue with regular practice of Yog. Restraining sensory organs is the main objective of overcoming mental conditions; it in turn is the objective of overcoming conditions present in the mind. The devotee experiences ultimate happiness when he destroys lust. Therefore a Yog practitioner should always try to overcome mental conditions. Attainment of peace and happiness is the main objective of Yog by synchronizing speech with mind, mind with mind-stuff, mind-stuff with soul and soul with super soul.

Enviousness which is infact the successive form off attachment is the fourth misery. The indiication of attachment is the affection with few & enviousness with few. Without this attachment will not develop. Too much attention (assiduity) is the fifth and last misery which is the established lord of doubts and fears.
