WORLDLINESS OR SAMSARA

Vasana is a subtle form of desire. It is hidden desire and assumes a gross form later on. Trishna is intense craving or hankering after sensual objects. Vasana is intermingled with mental impressions.
Vasarias produce mental impressions and these in turn generate Vasanas. The rotation of this never-ending wheel of Vasanas and mental impressions constitutes the wheel of worldliness which causes births and deaths.
