VASTU SAMYE CHITTA BHEDAT TAYOR VIBHAKTAH PANTHAH
EVEN THOUGH THE OBJECT IS SAME , THE CHITTA (MINDS)
ARE DIFFERENT AND SO ARE THE PATHS
We were told that the all the objects have 3 Guna , but they may appear different due to dominance of one or other Guna. But in this Sutra we are told that the object may be SAME but the person seeing it with different CHITTAS or MINDS may have different conclusion or appearance. The paths of different MINDS are different.
So we know this fact as we often say,'the Beauty is in eyes of beholders,' So the impression that one gets fro looking at an object may be different than other person. So if one looks at a diamond, the thief would like to steal it , greedy person would like to have it and Yogi will have no desire. So one has Tamasic desire , other Rajasic desire and one has Satwic desire . This is due to the CHITTA or the MIND being at different level and different paths . This can be also said about any food - meat or otherwise and also about looking at a women . Not all have the same reaction even though all are seeing at the same object .
So in this Sutra the meaning is clear , but what message needs to be conveyed is that we can not blame the object - the Diamond , food or woman or man - for the thoughts that we have and the actions and the desires that it causes.We have no one but ourselves to blame for any desires or action that we have or take after looking at any object .
