Description
Lecture by Swami Tattwamayananda. When we are not identified with a transcendental ideal, every moment becomes an opportunity to identify with a momentary thought current. The tendencies of the mind and the thought currents they generate naturally reveal our true character. In Asamprajnata Samadhi, we transcend this world of Vrittis. The way is through evolving a higher identity. Asmita is the power of internal identification and Samyoga is that of external identification. Whatever actions or thoughts we identify with are deposited in our Karmashaya, which forms our true character. There are five types of vrittis, some helpful and some not helpful. The are five types of Kleshas, which are irrational mental blocks. By becoming extremely clear about this world of Vrittis, Kleshas, Samskaras, and irrational mental blocks, we naturally begin our journey towards freedom. Verses: I.2, I.3, I.4, II.6, II.12, I.5, II.3
