Engraved in the Heart
A note from Melaap
AWAKENING (Bodhi / Sambodhi — Sanskrit: बोधि, from the root budh, meaning "to wake up" or "realize") is like a shooting star falling into consciousness (Citta / Vijñāna — Sanskrit: चित्त / विज्ञान).
The subconscious (Ālayavijñāna — Sanskrit: आलयविज्ञान, "storehouse consciousness") is a diligent farmer who, day by day, gathers and collects pains only to recycle them. Some of these stem from past lives (Pūrvanivāsa — Sanskrit: पूर्वनिवास), some are avoided by the conscious mind (Mano-vijñāna), and others pass by before being registered.
The fruit of successful recycling is that moment when we AWAKEN (Bodhi) to a truth—a flash so swift, so elusive, yet immensely profound. Still, we must strive to engrave it deep within our hearts. For that is the exact moment of transforming karma (Karma-parivartana / Āśraya-parivṛtti — Sanskrit: कर्म परिवर्तन / आश्रयपरivृत्ति, the transformation of karmic roots).
