Guest guest Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 Source: Radio Sai web site There are three states relating to the mind: shoonyathwa (emptiness), anekagrata (simultaneous pulls of multiple thoughts) and ekagrata (one-pointedness). These three states have their origin in the three gunas (inherent tendencies) in man. While Thamo Guna (indolence) brings about dullness in the mind, Rajo Guna (the quality of passion) provokes the mind into wandering hither and thither. Sathwa Guna (the quality that promotes the sacred aspects of human life) stills the mind into one-pointed contemplation. Thus, it is only those who cultivate Sathwa Guna that can undertake meditation with ease.- Baba Thought for the day as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today14th July 2005 Tired of spam?
