TASHYA PRASHANTA WAHITA SAUSKARAT
WHEN THE SAUNSKARAS ARE CONTROLLED THEN THERE IS (CONTINUOUS )
FLOW OF THAT (CHITTA )
This Sutra is the conclusion of the previous ones. When one is meditating , then there are thoughts . Theses thoughts are disturbing and they interrupt the free and continuous flow of the concentration of the CHITTA on the object of the concentration. Theses thoughts , which arise in the mind , are related to the experiences that we have had in recent past or remote past or EVEN PAST LIVES . As we have seen that each action pr the experience lives us with Impression and the impression leads to Desire and the Desire leads to Thought . These thought disturb our concentration . The thought interrupt the free flow of the concentration . The thoughts and the desires come from the previous impressions . These Impressions are called SAUNSKARAS .
So when one controls the thoughts , then one attains the free flow of the CHITTA. One may have question as to what exactly is CHITTA ? The CHITTA is combination of Mind , Intellect, ,Ego and some other STUFF. (as I understand it ).So now we can see that when we concentrate and the thought are stopped and the mind is still and then the concentration is perfect. The thoughts can come due to external disturbances,like noise from TV or some one playing our favorite song , or smell of our favorite food being cooked etc or they could be due to what happened yesterday or what may happen tomorrow . So one needs to control all these thoughts so the concentration is perfect .
One last point , our thoughts are like fire . As long as one continues to add fire wood to the fire , it will continue to burn and burn with more intensity if one adds more fire and gas. For our thoughts -which is compared to fire , the fire wood is our actions and indulgence -which causes impressions or SAUNSKARAS. So if we want to turn off the fire we need to stop adding the fire wood . .
