Mark Kincaid....5/18.....Desires- & maintaining that deep silent center

[Guest guest]

Dear Sanjay:

 

Well put!

 

I'd just add one thing. With the introduction of transcendental meditation, now it's possible

to find that quiet, beautiful center,....without any!.... struggleing or discipline...

 

The only discipline I've done for all these years, now over 34 years!, is to find a chair twice a day...

 

the experience itself is wonderful, effortless, and spontaneously moves towards that quiet center, in spite of the intensities of habit of focusing outside...

 

because of the discovery by the Maharishi that the nature of the mind is to wander...

but it's purpose ...is to wander....or move, always moving towards.... more and more....

 

So, in the tm program,....it's not even necessary to discipline the mind...

 

only allow the mind to move within....and because the nature of the mind is to go towards more and more...

 

and the experience of inside is!, more and more...

 

the mind's found settling down, without any effort or training....

 

But, your description of the goal is completely right on!

 

nice talking with you.!

Very nice!!

 

Some more thoughts...

 

We can never control the body and senses without controlling the

desires that always play in our mind. Desire and anger are constant

enemies of wisdom. Once when they are controlled can the mind become

still.

 

True discipline is the discipline of the mind. True self-control is

the control over the wanderings of the mind. Even though at first we

will have to work hard to make the mind disciplined, even though we

will have to oppose its tendencies with great strength, the time

will come when it will become accustomed to turning inward, and then

we will begin to swim in the ocean of TRANQUILITY that surrounds the

Self.

 

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.

 

Om Tat Sat.
