Q: How does the desiring and sensing part of the mind operate?

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Indriyas
(The Horses)
Sense Organs: Sight, Taste, Touch, Smell, Hearing, Sexual Organs.
The Horses of the senses interact with the objects in the world.
gunas Three definite modes of nature:
The Perception and Activity of the senses depends upon the Three Gunas.
Rajas - Activity, Excitement.
Sattva - Balance, Harmony.
Tamas - Dullness, Inertia.
MANAS
(MAn with the bow and arrows)
Desiring faculty of the mind-stuff.
The Arrow of each desire is released from the bow of the craving of The Manas.
BUDDHI
(Man holding the reins of the mind)
Discriminating and wise intellect.
The Buddhi knows what is good and bad for us. If the manas will not listen to the buddhi then we get into trouble and experience painful and negative consequences of our craving-orientated activities.

In the picture, the chariot represents the witnessing experiencer (soul, spirit) of the activities of the mind.

 

HOW IT WORKS.

Depending upon the proportions of the GUNAS within the individual’s system, the senses (INDRIYAS) will respond accordingly.

For example: A high proportion of Rajas will excite and stimulate the senses (indriyas) into heightened experience and activity. A high proportion of tamas will dull and depress the senses making them tired, uninterested, bored, and listless.

THE RAJASIC MIND: Is concerned with FULFILLING DESIRE; sensory stimulation and gratification. It is difficult for Buddhi – discriminating intelligence – to control a rajasic mind. A rajasic mind will always swing to the tamasic state. We clearly observe this process in manic/depressives and drug addicts.

THE TAMASIC MIND: Perceives things IN AVERSION; as dull, boring, irritating, annoying, a burden, hellish, confusing, anxious, neurotic, psychotic, or just plain lifeless. In the extreme the tamasic mind is nihilistic, degrading, perverse and destructive. 

THE SATTVIC MIND: Is totally subordinate to buddhi. The manas – desiring part of the mind - is completely under control of buddhi. In the sattvic mode the individual is neither concerned with sensory stimulation and gratification or experiencing the negativity of the tamasic state.

 

GENERIC PROCESS.

This process operates in each chakra throughout the seven chakra system.

The wise person realises this and attains to keep a balance in their chakras and their Gunas.
