Five Vrittis:
- Perception: Shiva says O Shakti, each particular perception is limited, disappearing in omnipotence.
- You become aware of the perceiver. When there is nothing to be perceived, the whole attention changes. The whole consciousness reflects back.
- The perception gained in nirvichara samadhi transcends all normal perceptions, both in extent and intensity.
- Whenever you see anything limited, always remember that beyond the limit it is disappearing, the limitation is disappearing. Always look beyond and beyond.
- Sleep And Memory: Sleep with awareness is the goal. This is the fourth modification of the mind – sleep. But that goal, sleep with awareness is not modification of mind but beyond the mind.
- This is the definition of sleep, the fourth modification of the mind: when there is no content.
- Memory is the calling up of past experiences. Continuously, memory is happening. Whenever you see something, immediately memory comes in and distorts it.
- Memory is continuously there, being projected on everything you see.
- Five Vrittis: Vrittis simply defined as the different thoughts that spring up and fluctuate in our mind that disturbs in the medium of consciousness.
- Yoga says there are five thought patterns – Right Perception, Misperception, Imaginary Knowledge, Sleep, and Memory.
- THERE IS NO GREATER POWER than the power of thought. Thought is the essence of individuality.
- There is a great difference between possessing the power of thought and being overpowered by thought.
- Thoughts patterns come from three sources – Birth Impression, Family Impression and Karma Impression.
