Guest guest Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 YAUM NAMAH SHIVAYAY Mind Purification It is very important that the mind be cleansed and purified, in order to purify our soul. The battle between good tendencies and bad tendencies are always going on inside our mind and we are often overtaken by bad tendencies and thus get destroyed. Mind purification can be done in three different ways. The first way is the stilling of the mind, because it is very often the activity of the mind, which produces impurities. The stilling of the mind removes impurities from it; it is like tuning the mind to its natural pitch. The second way of purifying the mind is by way of breathing. Impurities of mind can be thrown out by the right way of breathing. That is why mystics combine breathing with posture. Posture helps the stilling of mind, breathing helps the cleansing of mind. These two go together. The third way of purifying the mind is by attitude; by the right attitude towards life. That is the moral way and the royal road to purification. Thus the purification of the mind, from a moral point of view, should be learned in one's everyday life. By trying to consider things sympathetically, favorably, by looking at others as one looks at oneself, by putting oneself in their position instead of accusing others on seeing their infirmities. Souls on earth are born imperfect and show imperfection, and from this they develop naturally, coming to perfection. If all were perfect, there would have been no purpose in their creation. And manifestation has taken place so that every being here may rise from imperfection towards perfection. That is the object of life and for that this world was created. And if we expected every person to be perfect and conditions to be perfect, then there would be no purpose in coming here. Purification of the mind therefore means to purify it from all undesirable impressions. You must have a pure mind if you want to realize the Self. Unless the mind is set free and casts away all desires, cravings, worries, delusion, pride, lust, attachment, likes and dislikes, it cannot enter into the domain of Supreme Peace and unalloyed felicity of the Immortal Abode. It is the actions of the mind that are truly termed Karmas. True liberation results from the disenthrallment of the mind. Those who have freed themselves from the fluctuation of their minds come into possession of the supreme Nishtha. Should the mind be purged of all its impurities, then it will become very calm and all the Samsaric delusions attendant with its births and deaths will be soon destroyed. The supreme power pervading the entire universe in order to pray and seek His grace guidance and strength, to make our daily performances meet with success, and to see that we are on the right track. We believe that the subtle Supreme power keeps ever performing three main functions, namely Creation, Preservation and Dissolution. Creation means nothing but conversion of invisible universal energy into visible tangible animate and inanimate forms, which make this tangible universe. Preservation means maintaining them and allowing them to grow in the same tangible forms, of course, with necessary changes in them overtime. Dissolution means death or destruction of those forms in order to provide the departing spirits new visible forms more suited to their spiritual development in their latter lives. Thus, birth, growth and death or destruction is the common lot of all worldly animate and inanimate objects visible in this universe. It is a universal ever-lasting phenomenon. Concentration of the mind on God after purification can give you real happiness and knowledge. You are born for this purpose only. Dive deep, in to the divine flame, the Light of lights is burning there, plunge deep, and Merge within. Our Rishis keep us reminding that do not forget that you are an everlasting spirit (a fraction of the Supreme soul or power) which never gets lost, which never sees extinction, it keeps changing forms with the sole purpose of growth and getting more and more purified. Highest spiritual attainment is identified as merging completely in thoughts and actions with the supreme power known as infinite spirit. When the purification is perfect, it merges with the Universal spirit, the Lord. Rudra... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
