Sanskars are the nature of the soul.
There are 2 types of sanskars ~ Acquired and Original
Acquired Sanskars~
-The sanskars that we gets from family, the conditioning that happens from the very first day we are born.
-The sanskars that we get from environment or situations.
-The sanskars we are carrying from past births and impressions.
-The sanskars we create using our own will power and desire.
When we realize we are not going to be the victims of our old sanskars anymore, we gain the ability to wipe off and override the old sanskars through our will power and create the new ones.
The more we use our will power the stronger our soul becomes and we are able to form the new improved way of living.
The more we use our will power the stronger our soul becomes and we are able to form the new improved way of living.
Original Sanskars~
Our soul is originally joyful, peaceful, happy, loving, pure, powerful, kind and compassionate.
The trouble is we start confusing our acquired sanskars as our original sanskars and we live in this confusion all our lives. The power to change our sanskars dawns in us when we realize we are not limited to and happy with what we have acquired. We can always change the acquired sanskars by self study, self effort and self control.
Just like every canvas is originally clean and gets the layers of paint, we acquire colors through our experiences but the knowledge is to not confuse canvas with what is drawn on it.
The more we use our original sanskars the more they grow bringing us immense joy and contentment.
Peace, Love n Grace
