Vrittis

Fluctuations and the dissolving of them to best yield a presence in the present that you and others can find pleasant is what we are aiming for. Vrittis are the fluctuations themselves derived from patterns of thought. The thought itself is not a vritti but what instigates or ignites a thought is the fluctuation that can be better understood as it derives from non truths, imagination, deep sleep, memory and tested and proven truth. Add up how the mind and fluctuations can be tamed along with all the other Sutras, philosophy and good practice... well the Vrittis will then play a key role in your becoming and walking a path more clear and rid of circumstantial understanding.
