The Nature of the Mind: Restless, Moving, Alive
In Indian philosophy, the mind (manas) is never described as a static
organ. It is dynamic, subtle and ever in motion. Its primary function
is to perceive, compare, recall, desire and judge: continuously.

The ancient yogis classified the mind’s fluctuations as vrittis or
waves on the surface of consciousness. Meditation is not about
eliminating these waves instantly, but about observing them with
clarity and compassion.
