तच्छिद्रेषु प्रत्ययान्तराणि संस्कारेभ्यः ॥ ४.२७॥

tacchidreṣu pratyayāntarāṇi saṃskārebhyaḥ .. 4.27..

27. The thoughts that arise as obstructions to that are from impressions.

Commentary on Sri Patanjali Yogasutra by Swami Vivekananda

All the various ideas that arise, making us believe that we require something external to make us happy, are obstructions to that perfection. The Purusha is happiness and blessedness by its own nature. But that knowledge is covered over by past impressions. These impressions have to work themselves out.
