Guest guest Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Never mind others' mind " - Part 5 Be watchful of your thought Mind management demands that we watch our own thought processes. What happens when we do this? When you watch your own thoughts, the pace of thoughts will slow down gradually. Thoughts flow with the terrific speed, like the supersonic Concorde. They are very fast and never stop. Once I watch my thoughts flow, however, their speed decreases slowly, very slowly. they are no longer like an aircraft now, but like a train. Watch them further and eventually they stop So " Never mind others' mind " Mind your own business hereafter,thats the best way to lead a very good happy,peaceful spiritual life to all.I consider this sharing of my " Never mind others' mind " of Sai's message a spititual sadhana, designed mainly only for my temperament, for my profession, for my vocation, for my avocation, if not for provocation In other words my dear friends, analysis of our own mind, awareness of our own thought process, will help us to withdraw from thoughts totally. Withdrawal from thoughts is what is called annihilation of the mind, withdrawal of the mind or " Manolaya " or " Manonashana " in vedantic parlance. Here we have to what thought is? What is thoughts? The thoughts that we have to control are the thoughts that are not productive, the thoughts that are damaging, the thoughts that are destructive, the thoughts that are silly, the thoughts that are negative. These thoughts can come from outside and enter into us; or they may already be inside us and merely come forward. The thoughts that come from outside are easier to control than the thoughts that are already inside. If an undivine thought comes from outside, we have to feel that we have a shield all around us or right in front of us as a protection, especially in front of the forehead. If we feel that our forehead is something vulnerable, delicate, exposed, then we will always be a victim to wrong thoughts. But the moment we consciously make ourselves feel that this forehead is a shield, a solid wall, then wrong thoughts cannot come in. The thoughts that are already inside us creating problems are more difficult to throw out, but we can do it. We can do it through extension of our consciousness. We have a body, and inside this body are wrong evil forces that have taken the form of thoughts. What we have to do is extend our physical consciousness through conscious effort and aspiration, as we extend an elastic band, until we feel that our whole body is extended to infinity and has become just a white sheet of infinitely extended consciousness. If we can do this, we will see that our consciousness is all purity. Each pure thought, each pure drop of consciousness, is like poison to impurity or to wrong thoughts in us. We are afraid of impure thoughts, but impure thoughts are more afraid of our purity, then our mind will be under depression, onces the mind is under depression then naturally evil thoughts also increase, not able to concentrate even spiritual matters also. Each and everybody has to know our soul relation ship also because of these pure thoughts. " Oh Sainath, we do not know how to redeem your obligations, therefore, we prostrate ourselves before you. Bless us poor helpless fellows, henceforth, let your holy lotus feet be our sole refuge. Many thoughts & ideas troubles us in waking & dream states,so turn away our minds from them to your bhajan and services and bless us " Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying `OM SAI RAM' to whom so ever you meet. OM SAI SRI SAI JAI JAI SAI!!! Let us pray at the lotus feet of Bhagwan Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all, to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him Let us pray Shri Sai to give us the intellect and wisdom to make tomorrow's world a happier place to stay with one family unity by the following HIS principle of " Shraddha " and " Saburi " Jai Sai Ram Swamy Mahadevan Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all Baba Bless you ever!!!
