Specially jyotishguru said this to us in Varanasi. then how come Mind have a Divine Love with Soul?>><br><br>Blessed Self, nathyogin<br><br>Mind is not only the separator between atman and paramatman, mind is the separator between the jiva (i.e. 'that which decays from the moment of birth' - Shiva-Purana) and atman. The mind and the sense impressions in it, leads to a sense of individuation and an ignorance of one's divine nature.<br><br>Mind does not normally have a "Divine Love with Soul". Mind does not normally know Soul. According to Patanjali, the Divine Love or Bliss or Ananda that one experiences occurs only as the antahkarana consisting of the mind (manas), intellect (buddhi), ego (ahamkara) and subconscious (chitta) is withdrawn from the world of duality and allowed to become quieter and quieter. When the thought waves are finally stilled, the perceiver rest in his own true nature. That true nature is the Atman. Associated with this apprehension of the Atman is Ananda or Bliss. Ananda is a characteristic of the Atman. What is felt as 'True Love' is actually the experience of the Atman's Ananda in its undiluted form.<br><br>If the antahkarana is not completely still, then sense impressions and their accompanying emotions are active and obscure a direct experience of the Atman. As the Atman is obscured, Ananda is dimmed. Until, finally, our minds are so fully engaged in the world of duality and Ananda is so diluted and contaminated that It becomes what we call pleasure, happiness or love. Pleasure, happiness and love, as we know, are fleeting because the mind is in constant motion and agitation looking outside for That which resides inside.<br><br>Prajnanam Brahma - Consciousness is Brahman<br><br>Ayam Atma Brahman - This Self is Brahman<br><br><br>Omprem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
