सुखानुशयी रागः ॥ २.७॥

sukhānuśayī rāgaḥ .. 2.7..

7. Attachment is that which dwells on pleasure.

Commentary on Sri Patanjali Yogasutra by Swami Vivekananda

We find pleasure in certain things, and the mind like a current flows towards them; and this following the pleasure centre, as it were, is what is called attachment. We are never attached where we do not find pleasure. We find pleasure in very queer things sometimes, but the principle remains: wherever we find pleasure, there we are attached.
