There are five inner implements, mind, intellect, chitta, prana and ego. Our intellect thinks, argues, makes inferences and raises questions. Mind makes resolutions and then makes up arguments against it. Chitta accepts many kind of Sanskars (impressions). Prana means expectations, desires, likings, longing, sensual pleasures, anger, greed, arrogance, jealousy, attachments and hate. Ego provides momentum and force to all these functions. We can name all these as our inner implements. Just as electricity passes through wires; mind, intellect, chitta, prana and ego work through our senses.
CONDITION OF OUR INNER IMPLEMENTS IS THE REAL GUAGE OF OUR PROGRESS IN LIFE.
We can know the truthfulness of our heart only when there is reduction of impurities, interruptions and encasement of Prakruti from all our inner implements but are we going to sit around till then? Doors to the heart open even when the importance of the life and expression of the Bhavna towards the life is recognized. We need to gauge the progress of our life by the condition of all five inner implements and their higher progress. We need not keep checking this often. We should know this automatically while practicing our tools of Sadhana.
