Guest guest Posted February 22, 2001 Report Share Posted February 22, 2001 Contd from previous post:-<br><br>Manas is not always oblidged to be checked by Buddhi. If the incoming Vritti has great energy, Manas will perform its job, over-ruling Buddhi. For example a smoker who takes a vow not to smoke, sometimes unknowingly starts smoking. In this case, the vritti from Chitta to smoke, was so strong that Manas ordered the organs to start smoking, without listening to Buddhi who stops Manas in her logic.<br><br>The waves of Vrittis are continuous from Chitta. There is no time, be it waking state, or sleeping , when chitta is not sending vrittis to the mind. It is infact this flow of vrittis to and from Chitta which forces Manas to exist. Manas is a beautiful tool, as it has powers to attach itself to anything and find details about that. The waves of vrittis rise from Chitta mainly due to 1) The information coming from outer world 2-Past karmas coming up for giving fruit and 3- Prana coming into body. The Prana which come to body are mainly responsible to give energy to the Vrittis to surface up and reach Manas. Vrittis and Prana have dual relationship. Type of Prana coming to body will energise the same type of vrittis and a type of vrittis will attract same type of Prana to come to the body. For example, if a Sattvic Vritt arises in Chitta, it will attract Sattvic Prana to energise….and if Sattvic Prana are coming to the body, they will only energise Sattvic Vrittis.<br><br>Now if No vritti is coming to manas, and it is not being affected by information coming from outside , Manas will start discovering itself and its source which is SOUL. This is what is achieved by our various Meditations, knowingly or unknowingly. Vipasana is a very effective Sadhna to achieve this goal.<br><br>Outside information can be stopped by closing the eyes, and by sitting in an Asna for long time. But how to control Vrittis from Chitta. No force in our present set up is so powerful that it can control Chitta. But we can do one thing….make one Vritti so powerful and continuing, that chitta remains busy is handling that single Vritti and stops other vrittis to surface. Now we will see how this can be achieved practically.<br><br><br>Contd........................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
