Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord The mind is a wonder; its antics are even more surprising. It has no distinct form or shape. It assumes the shape or form of the thing it is involved in. Wandering from wish to wish, flitting from one desire to another, is its nature. So, it is the cause of loss and grief, of elation and depression. Its effects are both positive and negative. It is worthwhile for man to know the characteristics of the mind and the ways to master it for one's ultimate benefit. The mind is prone to gather experiences and store them in memory. It does not know the art of giving up. Nothing is cast away by the mind. As a consequence, grief and anxiety and misery continue simmering in it. If only the mind can be taught sacrifice, one can become a spiritually serene person. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. XVI, P. 8-9.
