Taming of the mind

                                                       

                          The human mind is like a clock’s pendulum and in a continuous rush hour traffic every second of the day and night. The mind is never stationary, like the dynamic nature of every animate and inanimate things and beings on planet earth. The mind guides a gambler to the gambling dens in Las Vegas while at the same time the intellect makes up the mind of a tragic and frustrated man to retire to the monastaries into the hills of Sikkim. God creates a violent and tyrannical mind like that of Adolf Hitler who wages the second world war and the Divine Mother may have special and spiritual reasons to create an incarnation of God like Sri Sathya Sai Baba who may be Her principle instrument for the cause of the onset of the dawn of  Golden Age . The human mind has the capacity to create peace or violence,  a saint or a swindler, happiness or sadness, the profane or the sacred, tragedies or comedies, a thorough gentleman or a gigolo, laughter or cry, self-centred people or the most humble ones. Not every human being has a positively productive mind and the only method to tame the negative productivity and outputs of the restless mind is none other than the technique of meditation. Meditation has the power to transform disturbances and distractions  to total tranquility and serenity, it has the power to convert a profane mind into a sacred one, it can transit a violent intellect into a most peaceful one, it can overhaul an arrogant mind into a most humble one, genuine virtues can be generated in someone who has no strength of character and the most hopeless of neurotically and psychotically insane people are able to take a roundabout turn and become completely sane if they are wise enough to employ the powers of meditation or the spiritual growth process. The only antidote to a restless, disturbed, violent, unpeaceful, neurotic or a psychotic mind are not drugs like anti-anxiety, anti-neurotic, anti-psychotic, tranquilizers or sleeping pills but a permanent and everlasting solution which is none other than meditation or the spiritual growth process. The human mind needs to be tamed through the powers of meditation for the insane mind to become sane, someone profane to be converted into a sacred being, for a nymphomaniac to be free of desires from sex and lust, for an unhappy mind to be permanently happy, for an arrogant intellect to transform into a most humble one and for the confined self-image to transcend into the Unbounded-Self. Let us look at the different states of the mind tamed through the powers of meditation.

                             The “inborn mind” that we are endowed with from birth is a bogus existence, is not real and the original thinking instrument is born only when we transcend the Anahat or the fourth spiritual centre through the powers of meditation. The human mind should be transcended through the spiritual growth process and we should be able to go beyond the mind into the area of the fully awakened Soul to activate the original thinking instrument which is the elevated Spirit. The fully awakened Spirit is the original thinker or the genuine mind. The ordinary intellect was doing the act of thinking before, but now “pure and untainted thoughts” start emanating from the depths of the fully alive Soul. The “new mind” activates all the essential qualities of the Soul  and is therefore happy, desireless, virtuous, egoless,  filled with pure love, non-violent, non-sensual, innocent, has purity of thought, silent, genuine, great adherent of beauty that stands for great purity, compassionate etc.

                               The dawn of the fourth spiritual plane reaches the mind to an area of total stillness. The stillness of the mind then reaches the mind to the source of thought which is the area of the fully alive Soul. And all this comes about when a spiritual aspirant is successful in activating the state of “ no-mind”. “No-mind” is a state when a meditator becomes completely silent without a single thought circulating in his brain and this happens while one is in his meditative session. Nobody can be aware or conscious of a state of “no-mind” happening. After all this has taken place, the “inborn mind” which was ever turbulent and in a continuous rush hour traffic all the time paves way for the “silent mind”. The “silent mind” is not turbulent, never disturbed, without a single dangerous thought emanating from it and takes over the role of the most tranquil, serene and peaceful thinking instrument.

                                 The “new-mind” and the “silent-mind” is the “happy-mind”. Most of the ordinary human beings are rooted in the world of temporary happiness. The ruthless, villainous and the tyrannical dictator of the “inborn-mind” which is the play of the opposite polarities is the principle medium which robs human beings of the state of permanent happiness. The dawn of the fourth spiritual plane makes us immune to the interplay of the opposing forces and we are now independent to the invaders of the state of permanent happiness which are the human emotions. The moment the human emotions no longer hold ground in the area of our fully awake Spirit is the dawn of the state of permanent happiness, the only goal of us, bachchas or children of the most Supreme Godhead.

                               The “happy-mind” is the “virtuous-mind”. Superficial-virtues originate form the “inborn-mind” but the true ground of the original-virtues is the “happy-mind”. Original values like unadulterated, unconditional, selfless, true and pure love, the sensually disciplined or the God-oriented stance, the quality of goodness or the nature of a thorough gentleman and a perfect lady and being staunch adherents of beauty that stand for great purity or “untouched virgin beauty” develop from the depths of the “virtuous-mind”. Display of superficial-virtues that arise from the levels of the “inborn-mind” or the human intellect are quick-fixes and therefore “phony” but the leela or play of genuine-virtues that arise from the “virtuous-mind” or the awakened Spirit are permanent, original and everlasting values.  

                           The individual self-image has an inborn habit of getting indentified with the ego or self-image. It constantly seeks approval, judgement, evaluation, sympathy, attention or praise from others to seek and create an identity. Since it never gets identified with the sacred qualities of the Unbounded Self, it lives in constant fear and insecurity. The inheritor of the individual self-image who has the around the clock habit of getting identified with the ego or self image is therefore self centred and egoistic. Whereas on the other hand, the Unbounded Self is never focused on the outside but with the inside. Since it never tries to seek attention from the outside and is never identified with the ego or self image it abides in its fearless and egoless state. Therefore, the Self-referred state of the “happy mind” gives rise to yet another frame of mind which is called the “egoless mind”.

                               The taming of the mind produces another feature of the mind which is the “desireless-mind”. The most important thing in life is not to become Enlightened but live and prove the state of Self-Realisation which is the desireless state. Wanting and desiring to own a SUV, a lavish bungalow or wishing to get yourself laid by a stunning woman is called being object-referred and not what the “desireless-mind”  about. The lesser desires you have the more happier you are. The secret of the state of happiness is not totally the Self-realised state but the absence of desires in your life. Your state of permanent happiness shall definitely be adulterated inspite of your fully awake Soul if you have a habit of running  a hundred metre dash after an infinity of desires. “ A state of no-desires is my essence “ , says the desireless-mind.

                             The “cosmic mind” is also the “genuine-mind” and the “innocent-mind”. Our original nature is the Soul-nature, therefore our real genuine-nature starts developing when we become spiritually elevated beings. The “cosmic mind” is never influenced by the external  world and always lives internally from the depths of the fully awake Soul  and acts from the “Internal”. Since it is not influenced by the external but is always identified with the internal, the “cosmic mind” is both genuine and innocent. The Soul abilities and qualities is very very virgin in nature and is never obscured by the external medium. This is the sole reason why the Soul nature puts on the quality of innocence because of the untainted virgin qualities of the Spirit. This is the cause of the birth of the “innocent mind”.



                             We are all dual or inborn schizophrenics from birth. The state of God consciousness transforms the sixth state spiritual traveller into the non-dual mind or the non-schizophrenic mind.

                                    To be able to transcend the fourth spiritual plane is average, going beyond the cosmic stage is good, being established in God consciousness is better but transcending the “Absolute”, “Unitarian” or the “compassionate mind” is considered best or perfect. A “compassionate mind” is One with the Absolute Truth and God and the very end of spiritual evolution. The “compassionate mind” is forever One with the “Universal Mind”. To be in sync with the “Universal mind” is to know that you have arrived home.
