MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL : 10-6-2.




Chapter-10. SUDDHA MANAS AND ASUDDHA MANAS-6.

6. HOW TO PURIFY THE MIND-2.

Charity, Japa, Nishkama Karma, Yajna, Agnihotra, Brahmacharya, Sandhya, Tirtha-Yatra, Dama, Sama, Yama, Niyama, Svadhyaya, Tapas, Vrata, service of saints—all tend to purify the  mind.

There will be, doubtless, unalloyed bliss in the mind thus purified.


A Mantra purifies the mind.

Mere repetition of a Mantra, parrot-like, has very little effect.

It has some benefit.

It must be repeated with Bhava (feeling).

Then it produces wonderful effects.

The Mantra, unless inspired with the powerful will-force of one’s own mind, cannot produce much effect.
