Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 As written at PRASANTHI NILAYAM 10th April 2006 The mind is but a pattern of desires, a composite of the warp and woof of plans and resolutions. It has immense potentiality to create manifold images. Imagination hides the truth, it fogs the intellect, perverts the vision and deviates the aspirant from the spiritual path. Desire creates a mirage, it imposes beauty and clothes things with desirability. To escape from the clutches of desire, which gives birth to the brood of anger, hatred, malice, greed, envy, faction, falsehood, etc., one has to cleanse his consciousness by prayer and Sathkarma (noble activity). Seva (selfless service) is the best Sadhana (spiritual endeavour) for eliminating the nefarious pull of the mind towards desires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
