MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL : 18-14.2.

Path of Spirituality:-4.

---------------------------------------/

The final peak of success aimed at by a mind in meditation is its own merger into the great silence -into the dynamic pure Coconsciousness which is the matrix behind all the subtle world of subjective thoughts and emotions, and the gross realm of objective things and beings. The conscious thoughts in their enlivened vitality, give us apparent illusion of an individuality, known popularly as the ego[AHAMKARA/JEEVA].

Mind is the thought flow in us. The quality, quantity and direction of the thoughts in an individual determine the type of flow in him/her, and consequently it alone decides the worth, the beauty and the effectiveness of his personality as expressed in life. All psychiatric treatments doled out today are attempts to jerk the thought flow of the patient into rhythm. But the valleys cut by the long periods of wrong flow have created disturbing pattern of thought -gush in this subject, and he/she has an irresistible tendency to dash back into the old familiar stream of thinking and living. A spiritual seeker, to begin with, must therefore learn to initiate new and healthier channels of thought in himself/herself and thereby, on the whole, etching vividly the desired  scheme of a spirituality conductive mental behaviour.
