Mimnd in nature...Emptying ......

When God created the mind, He has given a quality to it called 'thinking'. 'To

think' is the very nature of mind. We should not try or aspire for making it

blank because it is impossible and is against its nature. When any thing natural

is to be done, it does not require any resistance. Ex: water to flow from higher

level to lower level. Instead of making it blank, let it be filled with thoughts

of Lord. Here, worldly thoughts are being replaced with thoughts on Lord.

 

 

 

Generally one's mind is oriented to the worldly matters mostly. i.e., it is

filled with worldly thoughts only. Likewise intelligence is filled with worldly

knowledge only. In the spiritual effort, we are making our mind to orient to

Lord slowly. Sofar the mind is completely immersed in worldly matters, desires

etc., it definitely requires lot of effort to orient it towards Lord.

 

 

 

Now, if true divine is knowledge is learnt from Satguru, intelligence gets

strengthened. With the Help of strengthened intelligence, it becomes relatively

easy to orient mind to Lord. Intelligence acts like a guru (within yourself) and

whenever mind is orienting towards worldly matters, it will try to concentrate

it on God.

 

 

 

Hence, divine knowledge is most important. This leads us to true devotion. That

is why whenever Lord comes in human form like adisankara, Krishna, Jesus,

Prophet they all preached Jnana or divine knowledge only.

 

 

 

These preachings have to be followed to really get some spiritual benefit.

Bhajans, meditation and spiritual discussions form a basic level of worship of

Lord only. Next stage is try to identify a Satguru, learn the divine knowledge

from Him and Serve Him to get His grace. Words/interpretations of human beings

have no relevance in the spiritual effort. That is why the words of Lord only

like Gita, Vedas, bible, and Khuran are only prevailing as Basis.

Mind is naturally pure, clear, radiant and complete in itself,

even if we fall into delusion. The basic nature of being

does not fall into delusion. What is it that is delusion?
