The habit mind

 

 Manas is the habit mind and is understood as the sensational lower perceptual mind that depends on influences of latent memories.

The creature of habit is a creator of comfort that likes to follow whatever shape is given to it by repeated thoughts that form attachments to sensory objects. 

Neural individuality and one’s second nature are the impressions of desires as a driving force in the perceptual mind to receive the security that pleases the senses, like a dog follows its master.

The source of bondage and suffering will come to the point of limitation, like peace will not come to the lover’s heart so long as he will not become love itself. 

The instinctive mind and the habit mind work hand in hand, as the storage of habits and appetites arouses the sense of passion and sensations. Impulsive actions are the horsepower of the mind, and it takes the wisdom of the horse whisperer, who takes time to think. Using the senses to learn generates new ideas and the joy of learning, which makes it easy to step out of one’s comfort zones. 

The set of thinking dispositions and the habitual mind are at the core of social, emotional, and cognitive behaviors. The habit of the mind refers to a pattern of thinking, feeling, or acting developed through repetition and experience to make a mental virtue and fault out of those common habits.

The mental autopilot in convenience to save mental resources needs the discipline to obey the true self. Wishing that people believe you needs the faculty to believe in the self, to establish integrity and virtue that can stand against all vices.

Being a slave to success is not mastery, but those who walk through life regardless of success are in pursuit of divine values. The habitual mind and the consideration of the longing heart for lasting happiness need new images of the mind to sustain the development of love.

 Possibilities are the nature of things divine, and impossibilities are the limitations of old habits; the lack of understanding is the poverty of all goods of the world one possesses, and it is understanding that is the true riches.
