How Can I Keep My Mind Off and Concentrate?
Is there a connection
between a peaceful deep mind and self-realization?
Attempts to bind the
Mind, what efforts have you made so far to keep the Mind in good shape?
Will it be peaceful when
you read religious literature? It will remain intact for a while during that
period, but it will return to what it was if you put that book down.
When you drop a stone
into the clear lake pool covered by a green algae membrane, water waves will
appear to move, but after a while, the lake will clear up. Only then can you
remove the entire membrane.
Where sunlight reached
the bottom of the lake, what will you accomplish the next day by removing the
thin layer? The Mind is always in a spiritual dimension; it is always on the
rise; it will have no sinking.
It is very dangerous not
to immerse yourself in your Mind. The body will be quiet, but does it matter
whether you are peaceful or not? Future life depends on the Mind, and
dependence on this body will disappear. Have you benefited from a quiet mind?
People use their minds in
any way, not knowing what is beneficial or harmful for them. If they knew what
was good and bad for them, they would try to do what was best for them.
The Mind is now in
control. It can be silent only if a person receives information about what is
dangerous and what will benefit them.
One should receive the grace of such
enlightenment, which is the one himself who has been at peace and has always
been so in Mind. He can help you to have peace too. After that, everything will
work. Otherwise, nothing will happen.
When the Mind cannot keep
quiet, you should tell the Mind, 'It is not acceptable if you do not stay
silent. If you don't, I'll complain to God. Keep rehearsing it until you can
say it with conviction and persistence.
The Mind cannot be
considered as the true self.
Why do we often lose
sight of the fact that people are more focused on spiritual matters? They
cannot find peace of Mind.
The Mind is not yet silent, and it is not
yet entirely spiritual. People do not yet know themselves spiritually. The
better the Mind gets, the more it is considered spiritual awakening.
Until then, it was not on
the right track. If it gets in the right direction, it will run like a swinging
train. Here people believe in their Mind that I am spiritual.
And for these people that
their minds are automatically controlled after self–realization. They have no
troubles, and their minds are always quiet, still under control. It is always
held even when someone insults them. Why is that?
How strong is the
Mind?
Why should one not kill
the Mind?
The use of the Mind leads
to liberation, the 'Boat' that leads us to Freedom!
If you want to be free,
the Mind will take you there, for you were bound in bondage to it. Therefore,
you should not break your Mind.
The Mind is like a 'boat'; if it turns in
this direction, it will bring you to Freedom, and if it turns that way, it will
make you wander in life.
Therefore, to begin with,
the path of knowledge, you need someone to guide you.
It is also believed that
the Mind is like a monkey. This belief is just the name we gave it. Some call
it the monkey, and others call it the boat. But I would say it is not a monkey;
'it's a boat'. However, if you have ever experienced it, it means that it is a
monkey. It will usually show you its teeth, so you will have to call it a
monkey, right? And what do we mean when we call it a 'boat'?
This Mind leads you in
the wrong direction in this world and takes you to the right path. So, until you get to the
beach, don't break your Mind.
You are in the middle of
the sea of the world, the coast is nowhere to be found, and you are wrecking
your boat, believing that you will soon break it. You read in a book somewhere
- based on that, if you damage your 'boat', what will happen to you? You will
drown in the sea.
That is what happened to
these people. People will say, 'thoughts in my mind give me a lot of pain.' So
people tell me, 'Use it; or break the Mind. 'Hey, it shouldn't be broken; let
it go. You need a whole unbroken mind.
The Mind is critical. The
physical world is there because perception exists, and the path to Freedom
passes through the physical world. As long as it is necessary, the Mind will keep you in the real world,
and when the time comes, it will even move you to Freedom. Therefore, it is
like a boat on a world sea.
So if you want to go to
Freedom, it will take you to the beach. When you get to the beach, you can
relax, and you can say goodbye. After you have reached the shore, you can say,
'You and I are separated'. Therefore, the Mind should not be challenged. The
Mind is the most beautiful thing. The concept works on its own, with its structures
only.
The Mind does its job;
why do you hit something so good? It is a boat that will take you to Freedom,
and it is the boat that will cause your decline in the lower form of life. It
can make you wander in the life of the world. You should know how to get on
this boat.
When does this boat help
bring you to Freedom? It is said that when you gain Freedom, the one who can
give you Freedom - if you would seek such a person and find him; the boat will
go straight to that understanding of Freedom. It will not be until then because
the compass is not placed in that direction and thus, the Mind is misdirected.
Therefore, the coast cannot be found at all.
Therefore, do not try to
clear your Mind. You have to decide where you want to go and find the 'compass.'
and set it straight. Yes, but one compass north, then look up the star in the
sky at the other end of the compass, where you will be able to reach. Have you
moved the compass on the boat?
If not, then are you
roaming the boat without a compass on the ocean of this worldly life? Should
you not set a compass? The mind does not bother you; why do you suffer unnecessarily?
Why do you unnecessarily
punish the Mind? Everyone is constantly harassing the Mind. The Mind is not
like that. See what your Mind was like in the past? Wasn't that a cause for
controversy?
The Mind is a necessity.
It is necessary to change its power. Power goes the wrong way; if you could
change that idea this way, it'll take you there at the same speed. 'We change
your Mind.
How is your compass?
Community Road Compass. With a navigator's compass northward, your compass is
more precise than what people say and do.
Where people believe that
happiness lies, you also believe in it. And if this compass turns to light, it
will all come to an end; it will be finished. That's why we change your Mind.
We simply determine our
true motive. This idea is necessary. All those who have broken the Mind by
practising yoga will never find Freedom. The Mind is the way to Freedom; it
should be allowed to flourish. In the path of yoga, they all break it; that
doesn't help at all.
Therefore, let the Mind
be with you to the end. No matter how bad it hurts, the Mind will be with you.
Now that I have changed your mind, the Mind is no longer needed for you. When
will you get to the beach? The coast will come to an end, so will the Mind be
there to the end?
Yes, but after you get
the information, you will have reached the shore. So you should keep seeing
what this boat is doing! You've already reached the coast; it's almost over.
You are back on the beach. Why is it essential to break the boat now? If we're
being pushed around, if we're twisting like this, let that be.
The fact is, after
experiencing this self-awareness, the Mind is not troubled. It's a living concept that
does a lot of abuse, and that's a mortal mind; it's a thought that you put out;
you made it lifeless. The fact that the person before self-discovery was alive
was therefore giving you a lot of pain. Therefore, this information is
applicable.
People continue to abuse
the Mind. Why did they beat it unnecessarily? Whose fault is this? Here one
person commits a crime, but the other is punished. How much debt is incurred!
In making such a mistake, a person will have to deal with considerable debt.
