Hello friends. Welcome back to Daily Breath. I'm the Park Choppper. Today let's turn to our next secret. Freedom tames the mind.

Think about this you can't tame the mind free?

Today we'll focus on how the mind traps itself or what the ancient sages and wisdom tradition of

Vedanta non-duality called Sanscara. This is a Sanskrit word Sanscara. It's a residue or groove in the mind that is coming from past experiences or you might say interpretation and

attachment to past experiences. So Sansgara is in a way synonymous with interpretation of experiences that in various

Eastern traditions are called karma.

karma is nothing about past actions, experiences,

and interpretation, which create these samskharas.

And the samskharas, in turn create

what are called Vassanas another Sanskrit term which means seeds of

intention and desire. So these are imprints in the mind that serve as seeds for future experiences.

A very simplistic way of saying this is,

karma, memory and desire are the software of your soul.

Karma is past experience and interpretation, memories,

sanskara or potential memory and Vassna's desire and desire leads to the cycle of life which is

also referred to as the wheel of experience or

some sara, some sara is the wheel of existence.

Sanscara's ruled the psyche through a jumble of old, outwon, in some cases irrelevant experiences.

And everything from rage, anxiety, depression,

sexual addiction, substance abuse, obsessive compulsive behavior

is the manifestation of Sanskara's. So let's pause here today and tomorrow we can discuss how our fixed reactions are a result of

karma, sanskara and bass now.
