To cease creating new sanskaras by putting an end to those
unconscious activities that form them. If the formation of
sanskaras is compared to the winding of a string round a
stick, this step amounts to the stopping of the further
winding of the string.
The wearing out of old sanskaras. If sanskaras are withheld
from expressing themselves in action and experience, they
are gradually worn out.
The unwinding of past sanskaras. This process consists in
annulling past sanskaras by mentally reversing the process
which leads to their formation.
The dispersion and exhaustion of some sanskaras. If the
psychic energy which is locked up in sanskaras is
sublimated and diverted to other channels, they get
dispersed and disappear.
The wiping out of sanskaras. This consists in completely
annihilating sanskaras. In the analogy of the string, this is
comparable, to the cutting of the string. The wiping out of
sanskaras can be effected only by the grace of a Perfect
Master.
