Chapter - 2. MIND AND BODY BODY :


(c). FACE: AN INDEX OF MIND-2


The eyes which represent the windows of the soul bespeak of the condition and state of the mind.

There is a telegraphic instrument in the eyes to transmit the messages or thoughts of treachery, cunningness, fraud, pure love, compassion, devotion, depression, gloom, hatred, cheerfulness, peace, harmony, health, power, strength and beauty.



If you have the faculty to read the eyes of others, you can read the mind at once.

You can read the uppermost thought or dominant thought of a man if you are careful to mark the signs in his face, conversation and behaviour.

It needs a little pluck, acumen, training, intelligence and experience.



Your thoughts, sentiments, modes and emotions produce their strong impressions on the face.

The face is like an advertisement board wherein is advertised what is going on inside the mind.

In face, you can hardly hide your thoughts.

You may foolishly think that you have kept up your thoughts in secret.

Thoughts of lust, greed, jealousy, anger, revenge, hatred, etc., at once produce their deep impressions on your face.

The face is a faithful recorder and a sensitive registering apparatus to register and record all the thoughts that are running in your mind.

The face is a polished mirror to indicate the nature of the mind and its contents at a particular time.



Swami Sivananda

Chapter 18. The Power Of Thought-14.2. 14. Clear Thinking-how It Is Accomplished-2 The images are not clear, strong and well-defined. You will have to reinforce them by clear, continuous and deep thinking. Through Vichara (ratiocination), Manana (deep reflection) and meditation, you will have to make the thoughts settle down and crystallize into a definite shape. Then the philosophical idea will become firm. Through right-thinking, reasoning, introspection and meditation, you will have to clarify your ideas. Then confusion will vanish. The thoughts will get settled and well-grounded. Think clearly. Clarify your ideas again and again. Introspect in solitude. Purify your thoughts to a considerable degree. Silence the thoughts. Do not allow the mind to bubble. Let one thought-wave rise and settle down calmly. Then allow another thought to enter. Drive off all extraneous thoughts that have no connection with the subject-matter you are handling at th...

Methods of Mind-Conquest -2:   Swami Sivananda Stages of Mind-conquest: (Continued) ==================================================================================== 11.Mind-conquest by the Method of Sankirtan Yoga: Of particular interest to the modern temper is the case Sivananda makes out in a chapter on Sankirtan Yoga, in his Sivananda Yoga Samhita for Sankirtan as the easiest and the cheapest method of mind-control and God-realisation. “Sankirtan Yoga is the easiest, surest, quickest, safest, cheapest and best way for conquering the mind and attaining God-realisation in this Kali Yuga.

Methods of Mind-Conquest -2:   Swami Sivananda Stages of Mind-conquest: ==================================================================================== 6.Mind-conquest by the Method of Will-culture: From pages? of this book let us compile here those relevant passages of Sivananda that present to us his method of will-culture for mind-control. Mind-control is extremely difficult. But, it has to be done. Therefore Sivananda says on page?, - You will have to struggle hard for a long time with patience and perseverance. Nothing is impossible for a Sadhaka who has an iron will and a strong determination. When a doubt arises, - whether or not I succeed in controlling the mind, it must be dispelled, Sivananda says, by direct suggestions and affirmation such as: - It is true: I will succeed. There is no doubt of this. - In my dictionary, in my vocabulary, there ar...
