MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL : 14-5.



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.

14.The Sadhana Of Equal Vision -4.

There is nothing absolutely right or absolutely wrong in this relative universe.

Right and wrong are mind-made. Everybody is right from his own point of view.

There is a grain of truth in everything.


The point of view is the determining factor in the life of each.

When the understanding is illumined by wisdom, the point of view is broad and entire.

When the understanding is darkened by ignorance, the point of view is narrow, limited and one-sided.


Broad view is the sign of expansion of heart.

A man of broad view is free from suspicion, prejudice, prepossessions and intolerance of various sorts. Broad view results from foreign travels, good birth, vast study, Satsanga, public service, varied experience, meditation, etc.

A man of broad views sees things in their entirety and in their right relations. Broad view creates harmony and concord. Narrow view creates disharmony and discord.

DEAR MEMBERS HERE VERY IMPORTANT TEACHINGS GIVEN  ABOUT BRAHMACHARYAM, WHICH IS APPLICABLE BOTH MEN AND WOMEN READ CAREFULLY AND PRACTICE IN LIFE

Chapter 28 : Evil Vrittis And Their Eradication - 6.2

6. Benefits Of Brahmacharya-2.

A drop of semen is made out of 40 drops of blood.

The energy that is spent in one act of copulation is tantamount to expenditure of mental energy through mental exertion for 24 hours or expenditure of physical energy through physical exertion for three days.

Mark how valuable and precious is semen!

Do not waste this energy.

Preserve it with great care.

You will have wonderful vitality and energy.

When it is not used, it is all transmuted into Ojas-Sakti (spiritual energy) and stored up in the brain.

Western doctors know little of this salient point.

Most of your ailments are due to excessive seminal wastage.

SWAMI SIVANANDA
