The Power of Human Mind (Mental Faculties)

If you closely study the action of mind upon mind, of mind over matter, of mind over the human body, you will find that each man is a power in himself. You will have to develop the potential faculties by self-restraint and mastery over the passions. When mind is so much powerful, what to speak anything of the glory of Self, who is the storehouse of everything, who is the infinite, inexhaustible central magazine of power, knowledge and bliss from whom the little mind borrows its light and power!

The Three Defects of Mind

Milk is agreeable to some and disagreeable to others. There is nothing wrong with the milk itself. Surely, there is something wrong with the mind. Doubtless, there is a defect in the mind. The view of a child when it sees its mother is that she is its supporter, nourisher and giver of all comforts. The viewpoint differs in these three cases owing to the Defects of the mind.

Pure Mind and Impure Mind

There is the lower mind filled with passion. There is the higher mind filled with purity. There are two minds. You will have to make it into one Purity Mind only if you want to contemplate. It is through the higher mind that you will have to control the lower or instinctive mind of passions and emotions. Through the discriminating mind, the lower mind is powerfully mastered by the wise.

Thought Waves – Its Nature and Function

The thought waves is the mind stuff. It is the mental substance. Thought-wave is a modification of that mental substance. It is a process. Just as waves and bubbles arise from the surface of the ocean, so also these thought waves arise from the surface of the mind-ocean.

Theory Of Perception

When one thinks, then he understands; without having thought, one does not know; it is only after having thought that one understands.. I was absent-minded; I did not hear. I was absent-minded; I did not see. It is thus evident that a person sees with the mind, hears with the mind. Desire, determination, uncertainty, belief, disbelief, steadiness, unsteadiness, shame, intellect, fear.all these are in the mind alone. Therefore, when touched from behind, a person knows by the mind.

Mental Substance (Chitta) and Memory

Subconscious mind is termed Mental Substance. Much of your subconsciousness consists of submerged experiences, memories thrown into the background but recoverable.

Impression – Mental Pictures

Thought-wave arises in the mind-ocean. It operates for sometime. Then it sinks below the threshold of normal consciousness. From the surface of the conscious mind wherein it was uppermost for some time, it sinks down deep into the region of the subconscious mind. There, it continues to be a subliminal action and becomes a impression.

Power of Discrimination

When you are fully aware of the magnitude of human sufferings in this miserable, relative world, you will naturally begin to discriminate between what is real and what is unreal.

Dispassion

If the mind is constantly thinking of tea and if it gets pain when you do not get it, it is said that you have got attachment for tea. This attachment leads to bondage. The practice of dispassion demands you to renounce this attachment for tea. Mere giving up of taking tea does not constitute the essence of dispassion.

Control of Senses

Senses are objectified desires. Will to see is the eye. Will to hear is the ear. The senses have two states, static and dynamic. When the desire begins to operate, the senses are put in motion. This is the dynamic state. As soon as the desire is gratified, the senses shrink through satisfaction. This is the static or passive state.

Introspection – What it is and What it does

The self-existent absolute reality created the mind and senses with outgoing tendencies. The mind has a pernicious habit of externalisation from time immemorial. So you behold the external universe and not the internal Self. It is the Maya that draws you out. From your childhood, you are taught to look to the external world and not to the internal, psychic world. You have entirely lost the faculty of introspection.

Evil Thoughts and their Eradication

Desire, Anger, Greed, Delusion/Infatuation, Pride, Jealousy, Arrogance, Hypocrisy, Intolerance, Egoism, Attachment, Repulsion are some of the evil thoughts. They bind a man to the process of worldly life or transmigration. Pride, illusion and desires are so many binding cords of the mind.

Cultivation of Virtues

Friendliness, Compassion, Sympathy, Cosmic or universal love, Forgiveness, Patience, Power of endurance, forbearance and tolerance are Pure qualities of the mind. They contribute to the peace and happiness of human beings. They should be cultivated to a very high degree.

How to Control the Mind

On this side is matter; on the other side is Pure Spirit. Mind forms a bridge between the two. Cross the bridge (control the mind). You will attain The Absolute Reality.

Concentration

Worldly pleasures intensify the desire for enjoying greater pleasures. Hence, the mind of worldlings is very restless. There is no satisfaction and mental peace. Mind can never be satisfied, whatever amount of pleasure you may store up for it. The more it enjoys the pleasures, the more it wants them. So, people are exceedingly troubled and bothered by their own minds. They are tired of their minds. Hence, in order to remove these botherations and troubles, The Wise Man thought it best to deprive the mind of all sensual pleasures. When the mind has been concentrated or made extinct, it cannot pinch one to seek for further pleasure and all botherations and troubles are removed for ever and the person attains real peace.

State of Thoughtless

To be thoughtless is the highest form of Internal Silence. When the mind becomes free from thinking of sense-objects and their enjoyments, it is Internal Silence.

Experience and Obstacle in the state of thoughtless

In Internal Silence, new grooves are formed in the brain and the mind moves upwards in the new spiritual grooves. When the mind becomes steady in Internal Silence, the eyeballs also become steady. When you enter into very deep, silent, the breath will not come out of the nostrils. There may be occasional slow movement of the lungs and the abdomen.

State of Super Consciousness

When the mind is completely absorbed in one object of Internal Silence, it is termed Sate of Superconsciousness – state of no mind, no thoughts. The mind identifies itself with the object of Internal Silence.

Destruction of Mind

Mind, through ignorance and indiscrimination, considers its false personality to be true and thinks it is the doer of all Action and thus becomes egoistic. It imagines that it is in bondage. It identifies itself with the Individual Soul; it becomes Individual Soul itself and takes the responsibility upon itself for doing good or bad Actions and enjoying or suffering from their fruits. Hence is mind the doer of actions and responsibility for the action, therefore, rests with it.

Essence of Knowledge Path

Ultimate Knowledge is the release from the trammels of ones own mind. Such a release alone leads to the attainment of Liberation. The mind becomes of the nature of Experiential Wisdom by dint of the efforts towards spiritual direction; but becomes of the nature of the universe through Ignorance. If the mind is bathed in the water of Ultimate Knowledge and cleansed of all its impurities, then the shining Liberation will disclose itself in its native effulgence to those who strive after it. The real bliss is that which arises when the mind, divested of all desires through the eternal knowledge, destroys its subtle form.

The Mind in Liberated Person – Mind Mastery

With the disappearance of the attachment of the body and with the realisation of the Supreme Self, to whatever object the mind is directed, one experiences state of Superconsciousness. Amana is a Sanskrit term which means without mind. Amanaskata is a condition where there is no mind. It is mindlessness.
