This is from the book titled: Idea and Ideology. There are 11 chapters to the book, and this is the reading of the 4th chapter titled - Mind, Práńendriya and Vrtti.

Baba explains that the mind is made of three parts and comes from the same substance as the Cosmic Mind.
Práṇendriya is the vital energy system that controls the flow of perception — when it’s calm, we perceive clearly; when it’s restless, the mind becomes dull.
Vṛttis are the mind’s tendencies and emotions, and humans have 1,000 of them.
Through meditation and prāṇāyāma, we learn to quiet práṇa and master the vṛttis, moving toward higher consciousness and liberation.
