Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Q: Does a jnani have Sankalpas [desires]? A: The main qualities of the ordinary mind are tamas [sloth, inertia] and rajas [passion, excitement]; hence it is full of egoistic desires and weaknesses. But the jnani’s mind is suddhi-sattva [pure harmony] and formless, functioning in the subtle vijnanmayakosha [the sheath of knowledge], through which he keeps contact with the world. His desires are therefore also pure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
