MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL : 12-5.3

-




Chapter-12. THEORY OF PERCEPTION : 5-3.

5. THE VEDANTIC THEORY-3.

There is Chaitanya associated with the Vritti (Vritti Sahita Chaitanya).

This Chaitanya illuminates the object .mango..

This is termed Phala-Vyapti.

Just as a torchlight illumines an object in a flash, this Vritti-Chaitanya illumines the object.

Then only does perception of the mango take place.

Mind makes Sankalpa-Vikalpa : -

Is this a mango or not?

Buddhi comes to help the mind and determines (this is a mango) through previous experience.

Chitta makes Anusandhana (enquiry) :-

How can I get the mango?

May I ask the gardener or the proprietor? .

Ahankara asserts :-

I must get the mango anyhow. I want it..

Then the command is given by the mind to the Karma-Indriyas for execution.
　Swami Sivananda

======================================================================================================== Thursday 11, June 2026, 08:50. /  Articles Philosophy Humanity as Yajna or Sacrifice for Perfection -3. Swami Krishnananda. ================================================================================================= Satyameva jayate, is a great motto with which you are all familiar. And what is this Satyam, the Truth? Satyatvam badha rahityam said a great master. That which is 'uncontradictable', is the Truth, and if 'Truth alone triumphs', it is another way of saying that the 'Uncontradictable' alone triumphs. My dear friends, can I put you a question? Have you seen anything in this world which is uncontradictable? Everything is contradicted by everything else. There is supersession of values. Everything is transcended by something else. There is nothing in this world which cannot be negated by a subsequent occurrence or historical procession. It is be...

============================================================================================== 1.#Opinion: Monay 27, October 2025, 18:15./  Articles Philosophy Humanity as Yajna or Sacrifice for Perfection -1. Swami Krishnananda. ================================================================================================ I am supposed to be here to introduce to you, under the auspices of  'The Yoga Society' of this Academy, a way of the assessment of values, which we may regard as a little removed from the usual manner of the human outlook of life, a system of living whose physical expression is the Yoga-Asanas. We are here to bestow a little thought upon the impact that Yoga can have on human life as a whole and the relevance it has to the objectives of human existence. There is a need for a reorientation of the assessment of values, at least from the point of view of Yoga, and this necessity for re-orientation arises on account of the very nature of Yoga itself.
