Asteyapratisthayam sarvaratnopasthanam

Asteyapratisthayam sarvaratnopasthanam

This is the thirty-seventh yogic sutra, which is incorporated within the second phase of the Patanjali Yoga Sutras.

The asteyapratisthayam sarvaratnopasthanam sutra describes about the supreme state of non-participation from every kind of malevolent act. A person, who never displays any kind of greed or covetousness for his belongings, reigns supreme and is showered with blessings.

asteya non-stealing, non-misappropriation, desirelessness, non-covetousness
pratisthayam well established sarva
sarva all
ratna gems, precious things
upasthanam approaching, coming up

When abstention from stealing is firmly established, precious jewels come.

"Upon the man who does not take what does not belong to him, all riches are showered". Staying without desire, he smoothly attracts what is precious - materially and figuratively, including the gem of all jewels - virtue.
