Is not our entire life providence-driven? Knowing this, let us train our mind to be contented with what it has and gets. Poojya Swamiji explains to us the secret of contentment and fulfillment in life.
How can the process of japa lead to the purification of mind and cultivation of virtues? Poojya Swamiji explains in this short talk.
Apart from the world of five elements, we have only mind, intelligence and ego. While at the bodily level, the possibility of changes is limited, at the mental level, the options are infinite. One way to bring about those changes, that Swamiji speaks about, is to remain connected to the source of all thoughts.
The cheerfulness and joy of the mind are lost because of the desire and possessiveness. Dropping the latter will make the mind pure and consequently vibrant.
All the interactions proceed from the mind, and the impacts are felt by the mind. Mind is the seat of all thoughts, emotions, feelings of happiness and unhappiness, etc. Such being the case, it is the mind alone which has to be made beautiful, sublime, placid and serene. The whole spirituality is nothing but an effort to improve and strengthen the mind.
Poojya Swamiji says, “Whatever we call virtue, whatever we call ethics, whatever we call inner embellishment, enrichment, it is all to strengthen the mind and give it more and more health. Unless you understand this point and spend every day some time to enrich the mind subjectively and spiritually, you will not have a healthy and a joyous life.”
The mind’s function is to produce thoughts just as legs do the walking. We just have to get into the thought process and understand it. We need to spiritualize the mind.
One must be conscious of one’s mind because it is only the mind that gives us the notion of the world, notion of oneself and notion of everything. Out of the stored memories, mind produces thoughts, some desirable, some not. How do we get away from the obsession of thoughts? In this talk, Swamiji tells us the way.
