What is a thought?

A thought consist of two things

  1. Vrittis : Modifications of the Mind
  2. Pratya : Content of the mind

Whenever we are in state of thinking Vritti are generated . Suppose if we are thinking of buying a house then :

  • Buying a house is the Content i.e. Pratya in the thought
  • Consistently thinking again and again of buying house is Vritti in a thought.

So, now we know our thought is created out of two things :the content of the thought + modification of the content

How is the Content of the thought created ?

A human perceives information from its sense organs . These Sense organs act as faculties for intake of information in the mind . These help is creating the “Pratya” or ( Content of the Mind)

” Sense organs should be exposed only to the right people and environment so that we intake only positive and good Pratya in pure mind . The repetitive Pratya creates Vrittis . If the Pratya is good the Vrittis will also be good which would help us in having a healthy mind “
