ESSAYS

Kashaya refers to latent emotional residues that remain beneath conscious awareness. When the mind becomes quiet, these impressions may surface, revealing unresolved material that subtly colors perception.

Vishuddhi does not mean moral perfection. It means clarity — a mind no longer distorted by agitation, compulsion, and unresolved emotional residues. When the mind becomes quiet and transparent, it is capable of recognizing what is already true.
