MIND is thrilled with creative activity; INTELLECT is thrilled with the vision of the truth; the SOUL is thrilled with an experience of the truth.
As soon as a disastrous thought arises in the mind... it should be snubbed off immediately. We should constantly sweep our minds off of all the disastrous thoughts. All the disasters in our life are happening solely because of our own disastrous thinking patterns.
Nobody is our saviour. We got to save ourselves from our own disastrous thinking from our own negative thinking. Disastrous thoughts breed disasters. Negative thoughts breed failures.
All the body-mind human beings must become body-mind-soul beings, Humanity has to take this quantum jump. This is where the science of meditation chips in.
All physical afflictions are because of mental worries. All mental worries exist because of intellectual immaturity. Intellectual immaturity is because of lack of spiritual energy, lack of spiritual wisdom.
As our mind is... so will be our life. Our life is the sum total resultant of whatever we have ever intended in the whole of the hoary past and whatever we are currently, in this life-time, now, intending.
When we are with our breath energy we empty our mind to let the cosmic energy to freely flow in.
We rise through the strength and singularity of our intents. Or, we fall through the weakness or vagueness of our intents. We move ahead through our decisions, or we lag behind through our wavering mind.
We have to come out of our verbal-level activity, our mind-level activity, and our intellect-level activity, into pure consciousness that is meditation.
We have to become masters of our mind... the ability to still our mind is so very crucial. In that stillness of mind, our Inner Senses get activated and begin to throw light on aspects of our personal invisible greater eality, plus the impersonal cosmic reality.
Everything depends solely and absolutely on how our mind is. We have to understand the law that 'the outer is created through the inner'. The 'outer' manifests itself through the clarity and strength of the inner intent.
The cause of disease in the body is... ever the mind dissipating its energy. A haphazard mind, a jungle-like mind, A low-energy mind is the actual source of all disease.
The crux of the matter is to resist the routine wasteful wanderings of the mind. Unnecessary worldly thoughts should be cut right away, as and when they keep arising.
The mind has to be with the breath. That is the bottom-line. If the mind is not with the breath, the mind does not become empty.
The mind rules over the matter totally and completely. The mental attitudes of the suffering patients have to be reformed, the roots have to be totally changed. Unless a new thinking pattern emerges, the old problems will never vanish.
Meditation is the main tool of the Spirituo-Scientific Temper. Unless one makes one's own mind empty, the ABSOLUTE TRUTH cannot be seen. The mind is the coloring agent of human being.
Meditation is a universal science: Science of making the mind empty & energizing the soul. More you do meditation, more stable your life will be (physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually).
Meditation can be done in any comfortable sitting posture. Hands should be clasped and eyes closed. Routine thoughts of the mind should be cut right away, as and when they arise, and attention should constantly be brought back to the chosen task at hand, i.e., being consciously with the breath.
Meditational Energy should be the main source of vitality for the physical body... not food. Meditation is the process of silencing the mind. If a given mind is incessantly wasting its energy, the physical body is depleted of energy and becomes susceptible to attacks... by various bacteria and viruses. The result is a diseased body.
Meditation is the greatest gift given by our own efforts to our own lives. We can give so much to ourselves. We sit quietly for one or two hours. We are deep into meditation into a thought-free zone of the mind.
The body-mind is a product of the society's mind, while the soul resides in the physical body. The interactive, fuzzy area between the soul and the world is called as the mind.
If a given mind is incessantly wasting its mental energy, the physical body naturally becomes depleted of physical energy. As a result, the body becomes susceptible to attacks by various bacteria & viruses and the result is a diseased body.
We all can become like Jesus Christ! We all can become like Mohammed! Each of us can be a Zoraster, or a Buddha, or a Socrates, or a RamanaMaharshi! How Simple.. We have to Meditate! We have to calm our minds!
Only a well tamed mind can take up Swadhyaya i.e., reading right books and Sajjana Sangatya i.e., interacting with right people. Without reading the right books, and without interacting with the right people, enlightenment does not mature.
MEDITATION ... the First Stage. Meditation means getting control of the mind. It means becoming the master of the mind.
Moon has different phases... similarly mind has got its own ups and downs for every human being. Mind is an essential part of Nature and a very essential part of being a human.
Mind is a phenomenon that comes to you once you are born... when you are in this physical system.
Mind never gets totally obliterated in the presence of meditation. However, great balancing of mind happens through meditation.
Going into life-long depression, committing suicide or committing murders happens when one is not able to control/bear the mind. In meditation, when one masters it, we don't allow the mind to be controlled by such things.
