the vratti वृत्ति can be defined roughly as habit . the idea to cater to the wishes and whims of the tempered mind and body.
we teach child to urinate in a particular way. he/she learns that and use it for the rest of the life. this is a rough example of the vratti.
even before the birth we gather these typicalities and commanalities and keep gathering them for the rest of the life. if they are not directed then they keep on piling on us. all of them affect our body, mind and soul. we take decisions based on these. vratti can be a ritual also. we take bath we put off and put on clothes as a ritual.
the piling up of these vratti are vratti sanchay.
yoga gives a practical guide how to control them and utilize them.
to assimilate yourself with the universe as a totality it is required that you do not get carried away by vratti.
