Mysterious Mind

===============

 

Just as a busy officer works alone in the office closing all the

doors,so also the busy mind works alone in a dream by

shutting out all the doors of the sense.

 

Mind is a power born of the soul. It is through mind that the

Lord manifests Himself as the differentiated universe

with heterogeneous objects. Mind is merely a bundle of

thoughts, the thought " I " is the root. Therefore, mind is

only the thought " I ".

 

Mind is nothing but a collection of Samskaras or impressions. It is

nothing but a bundle of habits. It is nothing but a collection of

desires arising from contact with different objects. It

is also a collection of feelings aroused by worldly botherations. It

is a collection of ideas gathered from different objects.

 

Now these desires, ideas and feelings constantly change. Some of the

old desires are constantly departing from their storehouse of the

mind, and new ones are replacing them. In the waking state, the seat

of the mind is the brain; in the dreaming state the seat of the mind

in the cerebellum; in the deep sleep state it rests in the heart.

Mind always attaches itself to something objective. It cannot stand

by itself. It is only this mind that asserts itself as I in this

body. The things that we perceive all around us are only mind in form

of substance. Mind creates and mind destroys.

 

The occult phenomena that take place in the mental world are all

based on scientific laws. Occultists and Raja yogins should have

comprehensive intelligent understanding of these laws. Then only will

they be able to control the psychic forces easily. Practice of

telepathy, thought reading, hypnotism,mesmerism, distant healing,

psychic healing, etc. clearly prove that mind exists and that a

higher developed mind can influence and subjugate the lower minds.

>From the automatic writing and the experiences of a hypnotised

person, we can clearly infer the existence of a subconscious mind,

which operates throughout the twenty-four hours.

 

 

If an idea is planted in the mind, it grows at night through the

operation of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind never takes

any rest. It works vigorously throughout the 24 hours. Those who know

how to manipulate this subconscious mind can turn out tremendous

mental work. All geniuses have control over the subconscious mind.

You must understand the ways of extracting work from the subconscious

mind. It is a wonderful underground mental factory.

 

Mind is the greatest force on this earth. He who has controlled his

mind is full of powers. He can bring all minds under his influence.

All disease can be cured by psychic healing. One is struck with awe

and wonder at the marvellous and mysterious powers of the mind of a

man. The source or home or support of this mysterious mind is God. Any

action that is done by the physical body is the outcome of a

preconceived idea.
