I do not know what you mean by dissolution [of desires]. The principle of the Yoga is rejection – throwing out of the being. It is true that rejected from the mind it often goes to the vital, rejected by the vital, to the physical, rejected by the physical to the subconscient. Rejected from the subconscient also, it can still linger in the environmental consciousness – but there it has no longer any possession of the being and can be thrown away altogether.
