Part Two — Dharma
In Citrinitas, Dharma guides us into the delicate architecture of karma, mental impressions, and the subtle currents that shape consciousness. Here, we encounter teachings on fetters, papanca, and obstructions that keep us tethered to narrow perception.
Through these chapters, we learn to discern the intricate dance of causes and conditions that govern our thoughts and actions. This knowledge purifies the mind at its roots, allowing wisdom and compassion to naturally flourish.
Approach this section with patient curiosity. Each exploration of karma, the subtle body, or the veils that obscure reality prepares us to dwell in a more luminous, spacious awareness.
