MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL : 19-15.3.

Chapter 19 -Thought-Culture-15.3.

15. Sattvic Background of Thought-3.

3. It is a pity that the vast majority of persons have no ideal, no programme of life at all and no Sattvic background of thought.  ( continued )

 A worldly-minded person is a prey to sexual thoughts and thoughts of hatred, anger and revenge. 

 These two types of thoughts actually take possession of his mind. 

 He is a slave to these two sets of thoughts. 

 He does not know how to divert his mind and fix it on some other good, noble thought. 

 He does not know the laws of thought. 

 He is quite unaware of the nature and subtle workings of the mind. 

 His position is extremely deplorable despite his earthly possessions and bookish knowledge obtained in universities.

  Viveka has not awakened in him. 

 He has no Sraddha in saints, Sastras and God. 

 He is unable to resist an evil desire, craving or temptation on account of his weak will. 

 The only potent remedy to remove his world-intoxication, world-charm, world-delusion is constant Satsanga or association with Sadhus, Sannyasins and Mahatmas.

 Swami Sivananda

MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL : 28-21-8.

8. Pratipaksha-Bhavana Or The Method Of Substitution :-1.


When there are diseases, discord, disharmony in the cells of the body owing to influence of vicious thoughts, worry-thoughts, fear-thoughts, hatred-thoughts, jealousy-thoughts, lustful thoughts, you can neutralise the poison or canker in these diseased, morbid cells and establish peace, harmony, health, new vigour and vitality by entertaining sublime, soul-stirring, life-giving, soul-awakening, Sattvic, divine thoughts, by vibrations of 'OM' chanting, by repetition of the different Names of the Lord, by Pranayama, Kirtana (singing of the Name of the Lord), study of the Gita and the holy scriptures, by meditation, etc. Think constantly that you are Suddha Sat-Chit-Ananda Vyapaka Atman. All the evil propensities will vanish and the Sattvic virtues will manifest themselves.

Do not exert to destroy the different Vrittis-Kama, Krodha, Dvesha, etc. If you can destroy one…

7. Develop Vairagya :-

Those who practise Vairagya are real tamers of their minds. Have no longing for objects. Avoid them. Vairagya thins out the mind. Vairagya is a drastic purgative for the mind. The thief-mind shudders and trembles when it hears the words, 'Vairagya,' 'Tyaga,' 'Sannyasa.' It gets a death-blow when it hears these three terms.

Destroy all the pleasure-centres of the mind such as frequently eating dainty dishes, gossiping, sightseeing, music and company of women slowly and cautiously. Keep up three Sattvic pleasure-centres such as study of books dealing with Atma-Jnana, meditation and service of humanity. When you advance in meditation, give up service and study also for some time. After you have attained Nirvikalpa state, preach, work and distribute divine knowledge (Jnana Yajna of the Gita, XVIII-70).
Whatever object the mind likes much must be given up. Whatever object the mind dwells upon constantly, thinks about very often, mu…
