MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION.108
Radhe krishna,
Good morning and have a blessed day,
HOW TO CONTROL THE MIND?
Swami Sivananda
The philosopher-aspirant who is possessed of a flaming passion for integrating himself in Existence does not have the dull patience to linger on with the slow process of progressive self-transcendence through the channels of the different degrees of reality.
Swami Sivananda
How
to control the mind? Eradicate all desires and thoughts. Do not use
violent methods. Use intelligent methods. Grace of God and Guru is
necessary. Control the mind through Yoga, Jnana, Bhakti and Nishkama
Karma. I shall give you suitable methods to control this mind. Mind is a
bundle of Vasanas and thoughts. It has attraction and repulsion, likes
and dislikes. It is filled with egoism and cravings. It is born of
ignorance. If you eradicate all desires and thoughts, it will die by
itself. Vairagya (dispassion) and Abhyasa (concentration and meditation)
are the weapons to annihilate this turbulent mind.
Therefore, examine yourself, and keep on examining yourself, ruthlessly: Are all these ingredients actively operating within you, namely, deep belief, firm faith, becoming what you believe in, and translating what you are into living, into doing, into a dynamic expression of what you are by constantly, actively manifesting it, expressing it in every detail of your day-to-dayliving?
Swami Chidananda.
…The philosopher-aspirant who is possessed of a flaming passion for integrating himself in Existence does not have the dull patience to linger on with the slow process of progressive self-transcendence through the channels of the different degrees of reality.
