Yoga vasistha quotes

Vasanas are of two kinds. The impure Vasanas are those which, generating re-births, are terrific in their results while the pure ones are those which liberate one from such re-births. The great Ones say that the generation of the ever-recurrent cycle of re-births when excessive Ahankara (egoism) is developed in the body which is nothing but a transformation of Ajnana is termed the impure Vasanas; while the pure Vasanas which free one from re-birth, may be likened to a seed that will not sprout after being fried in (a pan of) red-hot fire. Those who having developed the pure Vasanas support a body simply to wear out their Prarabdha karmas, and do not again subject themselves to the pangs of rebirth may be said to have attained the Jivanmukti state (embodied salvation) which enables one to perceive all spiritual things through subtle Jnana experience, and to enjoy the bliss of Chidananda (conscious bliss state)."-Yoga Vasistha.
