MESSAGE FOR CONTEMPLATION 865

Radhe krishna,
Good morning & have a blessed day,
FUNCTIONS OF MIND
Swami Sivananda
A small portion of the iceberg is seen outside. A large portion is
under the water. Even so the conscious mind is a small portion of the
mind. The subconscious mind is bigger. But the unconscious is the
biggest. It contains all the Sanchita or accumulated Samskaras, etc.
Conscious mind functions in the waking state; the subconscious mind
functions in the dream state; the unconscious mind is the mind in deep
sleep; the superconscious mind functions in the state of Samadhi.
They thus revel in a state of supreme satisfaction, contentment, for
they know that there is
nothing more for them to do. Their hearts are full; they desire
nothing. And so, if the Lord were to
place before them the bounty of all His countless millions of
universes and say, ìTake this,î they
will reply: ìKeep them, for You have blessed me in a far greater
manner. You have taken away from
me the shackles of desire. You have graced me with the supreme gift of
perfect desirelessness,
perfect contentment, perfect fulfilment. What greater blessing can you
offer me, O Lord?î
swami chidananda
What ‘happens’ is done by God. What is ‘initiated’ is done by the
jiva. We should be able to distinguish between what happens without
our interference and what is done with it.
- Swami Krishnananda
Chant the Maha Mantra
