Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Dear Angela Angela wrote from notes attributed to the Michigan Satsang" "The very nature of the mind is opposed to silence." This is an axiom in Vedanta. A senior Swami (Maharaj) of the Ramakrishna Order of Monks said, "there is no such thing as peace of mind or a peaceful mind. The mind by its very nature cannot be peaceful" I cannot seem to meditate for more than thirty seconds without my "mind" (that rascal) butting in. The Buddhists have a concept of "no-mind". I contend that where there is a mind their is a monkey with a pin in its foot on amphetamines. The Monkey is the Monkey is the Monkey.... Mind indicates turbulent vibrations. Diseases like agitation of Mind need a mind surgeons. A sadguru like Amma can pacify (or better yet eliminate" the mind.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Namah Shivaya George, Re: the noisy nature of the mind. This teaching really struck home with me. I have had the same experience with mental chatter during meditation. I also wonder if I may be attached to the noise, even though I know it drives me crazy! I also feel that the mantra is such a great gift because it gives the naughty drunken monkey something to focus his/her (?)energy on! Namah Shivaya, Angela.
