Msg for the Day

[Guest guest]

M. Mouna as a disciplinary measure is meant for limiting the

mental activities due to speech. If the mind is otherwise controlled,

disciplinary mouna is unnecessary. For mouna becomes natural.

 

Note : When there is no one to talk to the mind will talk to itself;

memory in particular will surge up and will fill the mind with

thoughts of the dead past. The mind in solitude will then be in a

far worse condition than in society. Hence, control the mind by

dhyana, Vichara and study and by a stubborn resistance to the

pressure of memory. Mental stillness is reflected in vocal stillness,

which is a natural mouna.

 

All animals are mounis, but are still far from having a controlled

mind, or from being holy tapasvins.
