Minds are Created from Ego Alone

IV.4 Minds are created from ego alone.

5 The is one mind among the many, which is the director of the various activities.

6 From these, the one born of meditation, is without the storehouse of karma.

7 The karma of a yogi is neither white nor black. For all others there are three types.

8 Of these, the karma that bears fruit manifests in accordance with the samskaras (subliminal impressions).

9 Even though the type of birth, place, and time may be different, the samskaras (subliminal impressions) are uninterrupted and remain continuous across lives because of the oneness of identity.

10 They have no beginning because of eternal desire.

11 Because they are being held together and supported by the matrix by cause and effect, in the absence of one is the absence of the other.
