Control of mind

[Guest guest]

our mind is like a shadow and Paramatma is like Sun. If Jeevan is

walking following the shadow, it means Jeevan is walking away from the

Sun. If he has control of the mind and if the shadow is following the

Jeevan, it means, he is walking towards Sun (God). Shadow makes Jeevan

believe that Jeevan is real and permanent whereas without Sun's light

(God's Grace), both Jeevan and Shadow do not exist even during the

transient period.

 

Sun never sets and it is the mind that makes Jeevan believe that sun

sets in the evening so that it can become independent and get into a

dream state. When Jeeva is able to pass that dream state, Jeeva gets

into a deep sleep state achieving rest for the mind. That is how

Jeevan feels fresh in the morning. But when the mind wakes up and see

the Sun, it brings back " I " ness preventing Jeeva to recognize the

oneness with God and creating separation.

 

When Jeeva reaches " Turya " state, the Sun (God's Grace) is shining

(permanent) always and mind has completely disappeared. There is no

waking, dreaming and deep sleep state. The light is permanent and

Bliss is achieved. There is no separation and Jeeva feels the oneness

with God. All the clouds (bad qualities) preventing the reflection of

light has disappeared. Jeevan starts reflecting the light from the Sun

like the moon.
