Cure for Mental defects

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

There are three defects of the mind. They are;

impurity, tossing of the mind, and the veil of

ignorance. The mind is tossed about among objects of

love and hatred like a light feather in a stormy wind.

It whirls far and wide among sensual objects, far away

from the association of the wise. It is like a

strolling city dog. This baneful mind whirls at the

sight of immense wealth and it follows its mate,

desire, and ever preys upon ignorant worldlings as it

would on a carcass.

 

The mind is characterised by excessive fluctuation. It

is fluctuating and confused. It rejoices in vain. It

is intoxicated with egoism. Through this fluctuation

the mind becomes a prey to fear. Remove

these three dosa (defects). To do this you should

study the mind. Analyse the mind. Purify the mind.

Dissolve the mind in God, by constant and intense

thinking about God. Practise the sadhana (endeavour)

of destruction of the mind. Rise above deceptions of

the mind. Rise above the temptations of the mind. This

is your duty. You are born for this only. All other

duties are self-imposed, self-created through

ignorance.

 

Mind is made pure through true, pure and virtuous

actions, by constant association with the wise.

Mantra, repeated with the right feeling, produces a

wonderful effect on the mind. Right thinking,

noble emotions, prayers, regular and strenuous

meditation are the means to improve the mind.

 

As a result of purification of the mind, the mind

becomes more sensitive. It is easily disturbed by

sound or shock. It feels any pressure acutely. The

aspirant must be sensitive and yet have the

body and nerves completely under his control. He must

get over this sensitivity.

 

O mind, you cannot be my friend now - I know your

worth and nature. Till now I was deluded by your

tricks. But now we move in diametrically opposite

poles. You want fleeting sensual pleasure from

objects. I want immortal bliss of the soul inside. You

are ever restless and worried. I am peaceful and

tranquil. You are full of passion, fear and

attachment. I am dispassionate, fearless and

unattached. You want woman, wealth, property. I am

full of renunciation. We cannot agree at all.

Therefore leave me quickly and quietly. Goodbye,

friend.

 

Radhe Krishna
