SNIP:

Whoa!!! It is so clear and transparent. The samskara's- the scarves upon our eyes, have become gossamer. I define a samskara as a scarf tied around eyes that conceals or impairs our vision. It's a blindfold. You've seen them on people standing before a firing squad with a cigarette in their mouth. Like the cover of my first album; Jews from Outer Space (grin).

What they are is, the impressions left by our actions and these, when repeated, become habits and habits can and do blind us to reality. We come to live, as everyone does, in a world of our own creation; a projection of our minds upon the screen of Nature. We are born with a tabla rasa, except for what has followed us from previous incarnations and which account for prodigies, who play the violin or piano (like Paganini and Mozart). It also accounts for people who go wrong from the moment they can walk. Don't believe it? It is right in front of you. Not seeing it is a samskara too.
