Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Mind: Its Machiavellian Movements One of the vexing paradoxes on the spiritual Path is that your mind is both your best friend as also your bitter enemy. Mind becomes a true friend only after being gradually trained to be so. Until then it should be regarded as a troublesome and treacherous enemy inside us. It is extremely diplomatic, cunning and crooked. It is an arch deceiver. One of the master strokes of the mind’s artfulness is to make the aspirant feel and smugly imagine that he knows his mind perfectly well and cannot be led away by it and at the same time to delude him totally Note: Machiavellian is an adjective .It means using clever plans to achieve what you want, without people realizing what you are doing ORIGIN Named after Niccolò Machiavelli, an Italian statesman (1469-1527), who explained in his book The Prince, that it was often necessary for rulers to use immoral methods in order to achieve power and success.
