Chapter 14 -SAMSKARAM-S :-6.

 6.Virtuous And Vicious Samskaras-1.


Like forces, Samskaras aid or inhibit one another.

When you see a man in serious sickness and when the feeling of mercy arises in your heart, all the Samskaras of your previous merciful actions coalesce together and force you to serve and help that sick man.

Similarly, all the Samskaras of charitable actions come forth to the surface of the conscious mind when you see a man in a serious distress and in straitened circumstances and they force you to help this man.

You begin to share with him your physical possessions.



When one Samskara or virtuous action comes into play, another Samskara of dissimilar nature may emerge out and come in the way of its fulfilment.

This is fight between a virtuous and a vicious Samskara.



When you try to fix your mind on God and think of purity, just at that moment, all evil thoughts and Samskaras burst forth with violence and vengeance to fight against you.

This is termed 'crowding of Samskaras'.

Good Samskaras also crowd together and help you to drive out evil Samskaras.

The father of Sri Swami Advaitanandaji was a great Bhakta of Chandi.

 At the time of his death, he was semi-conscious.

He began to repeat all the Slokas of Chandi-Stotra which he had got by heart while he was young.

This is 'crowding of spiritual Samskaras'.

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…

Whatever is dependent is a source of misery. Whatever be the extent of understanding of this situation of ours, it is not enough to solve the problem in which we have been involved. 


Our dependence is manifold. So complicated is this dependence that we have not found any time to bestow a thought upon it. People who have been born as slaves regard that slavish life itself as a kind of freedom. 


They have never enjoyed freedom in their life, never had good health, never heard a good word from people. That has become a normalcy for their life.

Some sort of situation of this character seems to be supervening in our personal lives – one and all, without distinction – so that we have mistaken this life of bondage for a life of freedom. 


Inasmuch as we have been born into bondage, we have never seen freedom, and do not know what it is. We mistake bondage itself for a sort of freedom and so we try to make the best of it, try to grab a jot of satisfaction or pleasure or happiness from this servitu…

This incident of suicide is nothing to do with Dalits, or Catur varnyam, or Brahmana, or Hindus, or Hindu rashtra, it is chennithala's own story to get out of his own sins committed.
