Extract from Swami Ashokananda's "Psychology of God Vision"

 

In our present state the senses run after sense objects; whether

you get those objects or do not get them, in either case you

get burned by the senses and their objects, and you wonder

how you are going to escape. You escape by learning to be quiet.

That is the great art. Learn to be quiet, learn to feel the deep

things within. You will then begin to feel your own nature as

something different from the body, different from the senses,

different even from the mind as we usually know it. As I have

endless times pointed out to you, the mind as you know it

is really and echo of the body, of the senses. The thoughts

that it thinks, the desires that it conceives, are all supplied

by it by the senses; that mind is no good at all. But we

get separated from it. Yes, wrong things may still rise in

the mind, but they can no longer pull us down; we are no

longer identified with them......

 

 

Commentary:-

"The mind as you know it is really and echo of the body, of the

senses - that mind is no good"........ What an insight!!
