- The state of having an even mind is characterized by neither dwelling on past experiences nor longing for new ones from the external world.
- The world has an infinite number of experiences that we may not have yet encountered. However, the root cause of all habits is our desire to experience temporary pleasure from external objects.
- Once a habit is formed, it becomes difficult to overcome and gets ingrained deeply as vasana.
- Vasana-s can be overcome by redirecting the mind towards engaging in the pursuit of samskara-s.
- Although both vasana-s and samskara-s are part of our memory, vasana-s demand repetitive engagement that leads to indulgence, while samskara-s purify the mind whenever we engage in them.
