== Concept of Adhriti ==
<p style="text-align:justify;">Adhriti means inconsistency, unsteadiness, or loss of control in terms of diligence as per various dictionaries.
<br/>
Adhriti was first mentioned by acharya sushruta while describing rajas ansha of mana. He mentioned it again for vataja prakriti purusha stating them to be adhairyayukta (as per Dalhana) i.e. not having enough patience or tolerance which causes wandering of mind at any given moment.
<br/>
It is the exact opposite of dhriti. Dhriti is a conscious control over sensorial and intellectual functions, whereas adhriti refers to an apprehensive state of mind. </p>
