Fear not your enemies but your vasanas! Vasana is a Sanskrit term which is basically a collective term for our desire and impression. We are nothing but our vasanas!(In a relative standpoint). Brahman is causeless, therefore Brahman is not the cause of this Universe. This world appears only on account of vasanas. We are here on this physical plane (Earth) only on account of our vasanas. The world-appearance is without beginning and without end. Therefore, it is called Samsara in Sanskrit which means repetitive history. This is like a vast forest where we roam here and there until we realize who we are. Now, how did we end up in this repetitive cycle of vasanas? It is because we cling with our mind. Mind is another name for vasanas. Mind and Prana (vital life-energy that flows in our chakras) are related to each other. Where there is air, there will be movement. Likewise, prana moves the mind. Control any one of this, the other will be automatically controlled. Mind is served with various deadly snakes called senses. Senses are those avenue through which mind seeks objective experience outside. This body is inert and dumb. Mind roams this city called body and craves all pleasures through its various senses. Anything that we see, hear, taste, feel etc. are stored in our subconscious mind (citta) as an impressions. When our body dies, mind doesn't die. Mind along with its various impression and desires seeks another city called body to fulfill its unfulfilled desires. Whatever your desires are, it will seek appropriate body for that desire. Since, consciousness is omnipresent and omnipotent, it can manifest anywhere it likes. This universe is a delusion and this delusion is caused by vasanas. A slight forgetfulness of Atma in absolute Brahman has brought all this stupidity called world-appearance. Remove this poison called vasanas and rest in the eternal nectar of Brahaman. The sum total of joy of this universe is nothing compared to the bliss gained by uniting jivatma with paramatma. Unity and diversity exist only in words on account of mind. When mind become full of Satva quality it becomes aware of its unreality. The waves in the ocean are nothing but the ocean itself! The division exist only in words on account of mind. That is whole. This is whole. From whole comes the whole. When whole is subtracted from whole, what remain is whole. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti:
