Sai Baba Gita - Give the Mind some Peace - Turn it towards God

[Guest guest]

Give the Mind some Peace - Turn it towards God

When the lower mind is free of the dirt and impurities of the senses and is

turned towards the higher mind, it again becomes pure. Higher mind is always

aware of the inherent divinity. When you turn your mind to the divinity, you

will be able to free it from all the troubles and sorrows associated with

impure thoughts which arise from the impressions of the sense-organs.

Therefore, you have to make every effort to turn your mind away from the senses

and towards God. This can be described as meditation or yoga, union with God.

This is the process whereby you cleanse a mind which has become impure, and

again make it pure.

The mind needs a certain amount of peace. Just as the body needs rest, the mind

needs peace. How can the mind get peace? It is only when you control the

thinking process and slow the flow of thoughts that the mind gains some peace.

The mind will always try to go out through the sense-organs toward various

sense-objects. This then, gives rise to the thinking process. If you control

this tendency of the mind to go outwards, and instead turn it inwards towards

God, impure thoughts will diminish. Then you will be using the mind properly,

and giving it some rest as well. This has been described as the yoga of

constant inward-directed practice. Let us look at this further.
