3. The Samskaras in the subconscious mind-2.

2.1
Even in a blind man who is a celibate who has not seen the face of a woman, the sexual impulse is very strong. Why?

This is due to the force of Samskaras or impressions of previous births that are embedded in the subconscious mind.

Whatever you do, whatever you think, are all lodged or printed or indelibly impressed in the layers of the Chitta or subconscious mind.

These impressions can be burnt or obliterated only by the dawn of knowledge of Atman or the Supreme Self.

When the sexual Vasana fills the whole mind and body, the Samskaras assume the form of big Vrittis or waves and torment the poor blind man.

2.2
It is easy to control the conscious mind. But it is very difficult to control the subconscious mind. You may be a Sannyasi. You may be a moral man.

Mark how the mind behaves or conducts itself in dreams. You begin to steal in dreams. You commit adultery in dreams. The sex impulses, ambitions and low desires are all ingrained in you and deep-rooted in the subconscious mind.

Destroy the subconscious mind and its Samskaras through Vichara, Brahma-Bhavana and meditation on ‘Om’ and its meaning.

A man who is established in mental Brahmacharya can never have even a single thought of evil in dreams. He can never have a bad dream.

There is a lack of Vichara or Viveka in dream. That is the reason why you get bad dreams, even though you are pure in the Jagrat state through the power of Viveka and Vichara.

To be continued ...
