Swamiji's question - What is the difference between I and My Mind?

[Guest guest]

When we consider our current study of the Chandi Path as a

contextual background for this question, so many discriminations

between " I " and " my mind " can be seen. The " I " within us all can be

seen as the " Soul " , Universal Consciousness, " the Conscious Spirit " in

us, the Experiencer, the Watcher, the Highest aspects of the Gods and

Goddesses, and even you might say, Chandi herself. In contrast, " my

mind " can be seen as the sum total of all my thoughts, acquired

knowledge, memories, experiences, emotions, identity, etc. as they are

attached to and perceived through my senses. Swamiji, in quiding our

focus and understanding of the Chandi, is in effect, giving all of us

a very practical (step-by-step) and powerful tool for

self-transformation AND Self-Realization. Slaying one's Ego becomes

the central and very practical work towards one's spiritual growth and

maturity. So far, I haven't found any shortcuts, but have discovered

many detours along the way. A very fun, and deep question. . .
