Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Source: Radio Sai web site The mind is the monarch and the senses the ministers. But, if the mind of man serves the senses, man will know no peace. Every sadhaka (spiritual aspirant) who aspires to achieve the expression and expansion of the Divine in him has to therefore earn mastery over the senses. That is the first step. The next one is the conquest of the mind, its elimination. The third is uprooting the Vasanas (innate tendencies), and the fourth, attainment of Jnana (spiritual wisdom). The mind is the trunk, the senses are the branches and the innate tendencies are the roots. All three have to be overcome and destroyed, so that the awareness of Reality can be gained.- Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today3rd May 2005 Tired of spam?
