Knowing that which erases Sanskaras
(deep thought impressions)
Shrutanumana Pragnyabhyam Anya Vishaya Vishesharthathvath
Tajjas Sanskaraha Anyasanskarapratibandhi
We are almost at the end of the Samadhi Padaha as this year too comes to a close. Sutra 49 is very significant in telling us what the truth is. Sutra 50 tells us about the effect of being rooted in the truth, on our sub-conscious impressions that the memory part of our mind bears.
The first sutra clarifies that the purpose of this truth is away from all that we know through our sense perceptions of hearing, inference and material knowledge, fitting into the dimensions, time and space. What we see, hear touch, taste, smell and think about is behind all these perceptions and provides a support for the perception to exist and even throw light on them. Truth is Shiva or consciousness and the expressions are Shakti or the movements, sounds, emotions and feelings caused by energy. In this manner, everything is discounted as non-truth.
Once a person knows the way to hold on tightly to the truth, all the deep embedded impressions are gently erased. This truth has the power to even keep off new thought impressions from settling down in the mind The Atman begins to shine like a globe of light around a being, preventing the darkness of separate thoughts from even entering within.

Thank-you for all of the wisdom and light that you have shared with us this year. May you always find blessings in your journey.
Thank you Mark! A merry Christmas and a happy new year. Thanks a lot for all that encouragement you have given with your visits and comments.
Swahilya, what an awesome post with great imagery. Our pre-conceived notions get us into trouble more times than we can count. How great to master that and to see the truth. The saying, "Truth is beauty" comes to mind.
Happy Holidays, dearest friend. I am so happy to know you.
Hugs, JJ
Swahilya,
Thank you for a wonderful year, filled with the wisdom of the Yoga Sutras. Have enjoyed your explanation and insights. Look forward to the Sadhana Pada in the coming year. A Merry Christmas and a very happy and spiritually fulfilling year to you.
Welcome J J! Same here too. It has been a memorable year for me, knowing you.

Thank you Meena....Same here for me. It is one thing to write, but totally a unique feeling to have a dedicated band of people around you to keep reading what I write and comment upon it. I am blessed.
This is my first visit to your blog. What you say really resonates with me. I've been reading a book Truth Heals by Deborah King and have learned much about how important it is to find my own truth.
wonderful imagery to explain the endless thoughts.
Just as the year passby, the thoughts too passby. Knowing and being in the present is the freedom from getting trapped in impressions.
Season's greetings to the endless seasons....
Welcome Ruth! Thank you.
Welcome Merging Point. Thank you. Wish you a happy new year.
Namaste Swahilya. Oneness thanks you for your writings. I've just begun the Yoga Sutras, and the first chapter's 50th perplexed be... but your words cleared the clouds of confusion away, and I now have a better understanding of, and can even vaguely perceive (although it's far beyond perception), the unrestrained sky. Om shanti.
