Antahkaran (inner complex of mind, intellect, chit and ego) has action. No one has to run it. It runs on its own. Running on its own means it is in a discharge form.

Antahkaran (inner complex of mind, intellect, chit and ego) is not made up of four separate parts, it is one. But it takes the form of whatever is at work at a particular time. During the time the mind is working, the antahkaran takes on the form of the mind. Then when the intellect works, it takes on the form of the intellect and when the chit is functioning, it takes on the form of the chit. The ego is always with the intellect; it is never alone.

At that time, the chit (knowledge & vision) goes out, if the work is external, or stays and wanders within, if the work is internal. Intellect gives the decision. Intellect then accepts either the decision of the chit or of the mind and becomes one with it. So then ego endorses it and signs off on it.

Make a note that of the thoughts you have the most. That is the largest tuber. Then the second, the third… if you find five or six such tubers, you will fully understand your mind.

Everything in the world is vitrag (free from attachment), but one ‘himself’ has become attached through attachment-abhorrence (raag-dwesh), and then he says, ‘I am possessed by maya (illusionary vision), maya is not leaving me’.

What is the obstacle in this world? Kashaya(s) (i.e. anger, pride, deceit, and greed).
