Citta in Sanskrit translates as heart or heart-mind, or a more emotive aspect of mind that reflects one’s cognitive condition. It is associated withalaya vijnana, the "storehouse consciousness,” which contains all the impressions of previous experiences, which impact the experience of karma. Citta seeks to be liberated (from the confines of human suffering) - suffering is also seen as inherently human. To seek enlightenment, to be liberated, means to move away from the human condition and the passage of its time.
