Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord After attaining this stage, there is a third stage which has been characterized as the Ascent-and-the-Descent (Aarohana Avarohana) stage. Man has six different kinds of mind. They are: 1. The Ordinary Mind; 2. The Super-Mind; 3. The Higher Mind; 4. The Illuminated Mind; 5. The Intuitive Mind; 6. The OverMind or Beyond the Mind. The starting base for the six levels of mind is the ordinary mind. At the summit level is the Over-Mind. In the mental processes, what goes on is an ascent from the ordinary mind to the Over-Mind as well as a descent from the Over-Mind to the lowest level. It is when the ascending process and the descending process meet that there is fullness in the human being. There is no difference between one kind of consciousness and the other. All consciousness is alike because it is a manifestation of the Universal Absolute. It is the Absolute that has manifested Itself as the Cosmos. The doctrine of evolution is widely accepted. One should try to understand how it takes place in Nature. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks, Vol. XXI, P. 42-51. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
