Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Turn your mind into butter Our mind may be compared to milk and this world to water. Once water is mixed into the milk, this milk cannot be restored to its pure state. However, when this same milk is converted into butter, it no longer faces any danger from water. No matter how much water you put into it, this butter will always keep its pure state. In the same way, our mind in the form of milk is forever being threatened by the world in the form of water. What we must do is to make our mind like butter, so that instead of being contaminated by the world, it will instead rise above it. Now what is the process of making butter from milk? First of all, milk is made into yogurt by keeping it somewhere quiet where it will not be disturbed. Once the milk is converted into yogurt, this yogurt is churned again and again to make butter out of it. This is the traditional way of making butter from milk, and we too must follow this process to bring our mind to the stage where it will remain unaffected by the world. First we will have to make our mind practice devotion to God in a quiet place and when it shows signs of calmness, we must churn it with further practice of devotion until it reaches the stage where it will rise above the world and not be contaminated by it.
