Namaste. Sw. Chinmayananda in one of his BG talks gives an example of unending vasanas in a humorous way as below:
We all go for shopping with a list of things to buy. These list of things are the initial vasanas. However as we go from shop to shop (birth to birth) to satisfy these list of things (vasanas), we also knowingly or unknowingly add more to the list - so that list becomes endless. We seem to be caught up in the web of moving from one shop to another (one life to another) just to get these 'mostly unnecessary' items (satisfy our unending vasanas) that we ourselves created due to our ignorance and stupidity . Once we realize the hollowness of it and are tired of it, we try to finish the existing list carefully without adding anything new. End of it we complete the list and go back home (attain Moksha/Sayujya).
Gurudev funnily says that's why in Chinmaya Mission, we all say 'Hurry Home' (Hari Om!) all the time!
Hari Om!
