Chapter 14 -SAMSKARAM-S :-5.

 5.Samyama Over Samskaras

Samskara is known as "residual potency" also.

When all Vrittis or thoughts die away, the frame of the mind remains with the Samskaras.

This is termed the Potential Mind.

In Vedantic parlance, it is called Antahkarana Matra.


All Samskaras co-exist in the mind.

The Vrittis slowly subside and leave traces in the mind.

These traces are the Samskaras.

From these Samskaras springs memory.

If you have Yogic vision, you can vividly notice the marvels that take place in the mental factory of an individual, how the Vritti arises in the mind-lake, how it subsides and how a Samskara is formed.

You will be struck with wonder.

Samyama over these Samskaras brings out the direct knowledge of the residual potencies.

A Yogin brings into direct consciousness the previous life-states by getting direct knowledge of their Samskaras.

Such knowledge can hardly be acquired in Universities.

A Yogin alone can impart this knowledge to deserving aspirants.

7. Develop Vairagya :-

Those who practise Vairagya are real tamers of their minds. Have no longing for objects. Avoid them. Vairagya thins out the mind. Vairagya is a drastic purgative for the mind. The thief-mind shudders and trembles when it hears the words, 'Vairagya,' 'Tyaga,' 'Sannyasa.' It gets a death-blow when it hears these three terms.

Destroy all the pleasure-centres of the mind such as frequently eating dainty dishes, gossiping, sightseeing, music and company of women slowly and cautiously. Keep up three Sattvic pleasure-centres such as study of books dealing with Atma-Jnana, meditation and service of humanity. When you advance in meditation, give up service and study also for some time. After you have attained Nirvikalpa state, preach, work and distribute divine knowledge (Jnana Yajna of the Gita, XVIII-70).
Whatever object the mind likes much must be given up. Whatever object the mind dwells upon constantly, thinks about very often, mu…
