Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 People who are ignorant of great truths, cavil at others for their belief in scriptures and god. Clever arguements may please the ear but it can not search for truth. In fact, the mind, speech and intellect can go nowhere near the realm of spirit. The self is beyond the ken of human intelligence. The mind can help us to climb the first few steps in the ladder for higher truth. We have to jettison the mind in order to progress towards the Self, which is the basis for existence. Many feel how we can progress without the help of the mind. We are ignorant and confused about the Reality which is our own SELF. In fact mind is an obstruction when we move up. It is a burden and negative force when we pursue spirituality. Swami often says, "Kill the mindDie mind". It is the mind which is the cause for all that is seen. Bereft of the mind, none can cognise the world. We may think that the eyes are enough to view the world. No we are wrong. If the mind is absent while the eyes are watching, no input can reach the brain. Mind is the vital link for all sensory inputs. It is the conduit through which information reaches the brain. If the conduit itself is absent, how any information will reach the brain. But we can not force the mind to leave. We can not wish it away.Only by remaining as witness, we can bypass the mind.Sairam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
