WHAT IS VRUTTIE (PENCHANT, TENDENCY)?

 Human being is very careful to spend money in Sansar, but he mismanages the free gift given to him naturally, and hardly any Jiva is even aware of it. The capital of the vruttie of the Jiva is in the form of energy (Shakti). We can experience in the worldly affairs that new creation is done by vruttie. The kind of creation depends upon the kind of vruttie. So, the Jiva who wants to follow the path of Bhagwan must observe the kind of vruttie and thought commiserate with his actions. The Jiva who tries to observe his vrutties and thoughts with impartiality and knowledge, and tries to keep vrutties and thoughts of  higher category at that time, experiences that Vruttie is a form of energy. 

Vruttie plays major role in whatever happens. Vruttie is shaped by vruttie. Nothing happens without the expression of vruttie, and vruttie is always expressed while in Jiva-Nature. No one can stop it. So, it is in the hands of the human being to keep alertness filled with awareness,  knowledge and devotion in the vruttie. Jiva will act according to his habit only. Jiva who desires to go higher or lower will definitely go higher or lower. Karma can be good or bad, and  human being will get all kind of karmas in life. Every Jiva understands the karma according to his understanding. Many people who are good at dealings with others use subtle methods to get their work done. Others may not have any understanding of their methods. So the karma gets done according to intensity of the awareness. For this reason, we always understand what was our level in past, what is at present and what it would be in future from the development of the vruttie. Whoever tries to understand himself thoroughly, will definitely understand himself, and if he understands, he will definitely wake up. 

When we develop vruttie at certain level, we can experience that this vruttie will move us in the other subjects at similar level. As for example, if we develop vruttie of hunger, it will engage our mind in eating. When there is a vruttie of taking a bath, it will definitely engage the mind and body in that topic. If a developing vruttie makes us enter in the similar subject vruttie, then only we can know it as a vruttie of similar kind of topic. It is not easy to keep vruttie without expression. There is natural measure of the vruttie, like it will guide the mind in that particular topic, it is different matter if it is fulfilled or not. So vruttie always guides the mind in the subject of vruttie. Thus Vruttie is movement, it can never be elastic.
