SAMADHIPAD-SUTRA 3

                                   TAD DRASHTAH  SWARUO  AWASTHANAM

                        (WHEN THE TENDENCIES OF CHITTA ARE CONTROLLED )
                                   THEN THE SEER IS IN IT'S ORIGINAL STATE
     When we control the thoughts that occur in our mind then the seer realises it.s original state.When the soul or the seer or the reflection of the GOD is identifying as the physical body , it is called soul Since the body , physical or astral or for that matter causal , all are related to the 'nature' or PRAKRITY, and is not the spirit,it has all the Gunas and so our thought process is guided by these Gunas and we act upon it .So we continue to have the waves of the thoughts . so the seer is not 'free' to realise it's original state.The common example that is given , is that of a light .If the glass covering the light is blue , the light appear blue ,not white. If the glass covering is very dark , then the light will be very dull or dim. The light is same , but due to external covering it can appear to be blue or red or dim. So the light does not change , but appears to have changed . So when we remove all the external coverings , then the light will appear as it is originally. The only difference in this example is that the original 'light' . or the PURUSHA , has no qualities. But it attaches itself to the body , which has all the good , bad and evil qualities and so it feels  as if it is good , bad or evil.But once all this is cleared, it recognises (not a exact word ).it original status.Since this is reflection of the GOD , it can have the union with HIM , THE GOD only when it has no adulteration by qualities of the body . This creates the BLISS.
