It was very knowledgeable. I appreciate it a lot that such age old wisdom is available for me sitting at home. Very engaging. 👏

This is a wonderful talk by Swami Vimohananda and I wish to express my gratitude for these teachings. Te relationship of the four states or functions is clearly explained and the role each plays. Swami ji has also explained very well how the vritti relate to this and has used the image of a lake and the waves to make it all very clear. I like very much Swami Vivekananda's explanation of thought as a force. Swami Vimohananda then explains how the force originates in nourishment, that is the food we take. It is most interesting that the food has both a gross (for body) and subtle (for mind) effect and that the quality of the food will profoundly affect the quality of our thoughts. therefore, we wish to take a sattvic diet as much as possible. And thank you for bringing to our attention Rishi Charaka and the Charakasamhita. This is a valuable resource and as Swami ji has shown, is quite relevant to the understanding of the mind and sense organs. All in all, a most valuable talk. Pranam to Sri Ramakrishna, the Holy Mother , Swami Vivekananda and all the Swamis of the Ramakrishna Order.
