Guest guest Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Mind Control by Discrimination (the ability to judge what is good, true, etc.) Mind wants repetition of a pleasure once enjoyed. Memory of pleasure arises in the mind. Memory induces imagination and thinking. In this way attachment arises. Through repetition a habit is formed. Habit causes a strong trishna . Mind then exercises its rule over poor, helpless, weak-willed worldlings. As soon as discrimination arises, the power of mind becomes weakened. The mind tries to recede, to retrace its steps to its original home—the heart. Its poisonous fangs are extracted by discrimination. It gets dethroned. It cannot do anything in the presence of discrimination. The will becomes stronger and stronger when discrimination is awakened. Thanks to viveka which enable us to get out of this miserable samsara DELETE button is history. Unlimited mail storage is just a click away.
