MIND : ITS MYSTERIES & ITS AND CONTROL : 30.11.

11. Annihilate Sankalpas

The ideas of differentiation of this person or that person or 'I' or 'thou' or of this or that object do pertain to the mind only. Put an end to the mind with the sword of Abhavana (non-thought). Kill the soldiers one by one when they emerge out of the fort. Eventually you can get hold of the fortress. Even so, destroy every thought one by one as it arises in the mind. Eventually you can conquer the mind.

If you can do the extinction of all sorts of Kalpanas (imaginations, thoughts). like thick clouds that are dispersed through stormy gales, the mind will get absorbed into the Source, Chit (Absolute Consciousness). Then you will be free from all sorts of tribulations and worries and miseries. Then only you will have perennial happiness and the wealth of Moksha.

Mind is Maya. If the mind runs towards the sensual objects wildly, Maya takes a stronghold of the man. Maya havocs through the mind. This lower impulsive mind drags you down in all kinds of petty sensual enjoyments and deludes you in a variety of ways. Maya, through her power, raises millions of Sankalpas in the mind. The Jiva becomes a prey to the Sankalpas.

This lower Manas cannot approach those who have a strong Viveka (power of discrimination) between Sat and Asat (the real and the unreal). Maya is very easy to be detected and Self to be realised by men who possess discrimination and strong determination. Through these powers, viz., Viveka and will, it can be controlled.

Slay the lower mind, the enemy of Atman through the higher and Sattvic mind. Use your Vichara, Viveka and pure reason constantly when objects trouble you, delude you. After reason has dispersed the darkness of the illusions of sense which cover the mind, it still returns to those things which are deceitful as the appearance of water on sandy deserts. Again and again, exercise your reason till you are established in knowledge. The power of Avidya is great, indeed.

Renounce desires; renounce Sankalpas of objects. Cultivate Vairagya. Give up this little false 'I.' All the Sankalpas encircle and envelop this 'I.' Do not pay much heed to the body. Think of the body and its wants as little as possible.

Have no Sankalpa. The fluctuating mind will die by itself. It will melt in Brahman (Arupa Manonasa). Then you will have the Sakshatkara (Beatific vision of Atman). When the mind dies, 'I,' 'you,' 'he,' 'this,' 'that,' time, space, Jiva, Jagat, all will dwindle into nothing. Idea of inside and outside will vanish. There will be only one experience of the One, Akhanda (the indivisible) Chidakasa which is Paripurna (all-full). All the doubts and delusions will disappear through the Jnana in the heart.

12. Destroy The Ego

Opinion 18/11/2015 104.  Sub : Beware  of  Spiritual  Gods ( Human ) :  Ref :  Bharatham is  full  of  pseudo  religious  guru-s,  starting  with  priests  of  Temple, Church  and  Mosque  All Members,  Respected family members of this great holy Nation. Part-4. A. 1. No  living  Master  who  breathes  and  eats,  and  recognizes  a  world  to  function  in,  can  ever  claim  that  he  is  God. 2. Members  and my  brothers  and  sisters,  don't  be  deceived. 3. Having  seen  a  God  you  will  not  live  to  declare  it;  4. a  salt-doll  went  into  the  sea  to  measure  its  depth  and  it  could  not  come  back  to  declare  its  discovery! 5. The  individual  having  had  the  God-experience  will  not  come  to  declare  that  the  Almighty  and  the  All-pervading  Truth  is  the  limited,  mortal,  finite  structure  of  the  reacher. 6.

Chinmaya Mission: Sevika Sarika Pherwani’s Bala vihar performed the Paduka Puja at Dosti Erica, wadala.  We received an enthusiastic response from children who attended it with their Parents/grand parents.   Sevika Dimple Parekh assisted in conducting this and it was well received by the Parents ================================================================ 1.#Opinion : Thursday, 14 Dec 05:30. 3363. // Article Philosophy 1.#On Reason and Higher Life - 1.Swami Krishnananda./// ================================================================ First of all, it has to be remembered that reason is not everything, and it is futile to work up an apotheosis of reason. This itself is contrary to reason, and it is a prejudiced faith of the human mind which makes it imagine that reason is all. You ask, 'On what is faith based?', but I ask, 'On what is reason based?' 'Who told you that reason itself is reasonable?' Don't you think that this itself is a faith that you h

=============================================================== Monday, 22  Dec 2023. 05:30.  Psychic Influence: =============================================================== Personality: In common parlance when one says that Dr. Tagore has a good personality, he means thatDr. Tagore has a strong, stalwart, tall figure, a beautiful complexion, a fine nose, sharpand lustrous eyes, broad chest, a muscular body, symmetrical limbs, curly hair and so on.That which distinguishes one man from another is personality. In reality, personality issomething more than this. It includes a man’s character, intelligence, noble qualities,moral conduct, intellectual attainments, certain striking faculties, special traits orcharacteristics, sweet powerful voice, etc. All these things put together constitute thepersonality of Mr. So and so. The sum total of all these things makes up the personalityof a man. Mere physical characteristics cannot make up the personality. What you call an umbrella is really
