Delusion is a false knowledge— It is indiscrimination or unclifferentiated consciousness Truth is within us- The better knowledge or realization illumines the delusion- Spirit is never sick Delusion is a kind of perplexing problem. We should go through it and transcend it. APPENDIX B Subject Pages Heart and Mind ... ... 137–137 Heart refers to the mind or feeling. The mind includes a lot of other activities and functions. The heart and the mind are not the same thing according to Vedânta philosophy-- They are same according to the Christian Science and New Thought-'What psychology says - We call the heart Chitta- Impressions are the causes of future desires - The mind is like a mirror Impressions will not die out unless they are forced outImpressions remain in the subconscious mind Habit is a series of impressions -- Impressions are obstacles in the path of realization Purification of the heart is necessary- Purification of the heart means removal of the Samskäras from it - We can reduce the number of desires by discrimination.
