Chinna Katha - Real Story

 

A man visited a mental asylum, he found a decent and sane - looking

young gentle man sitting in one corner of the room. He was talking

to himself in ecstasy. Visitor asked the caretaker what's the

matter. Caretaker explained that he was deeply in love with a lady

named Roja and Roja married somebody else. In the very next room

there was yet another person. He was decent and sane - looking young

gentle man sitting in one corner of the room. He was talking to

himself in ecstasy. Having asked, the warden said, " He was the

person who married Roja. " So the problem was not with Roja. But with

the mind set of these two youngsters. Mind is the mischief-maker.

 

mana eva manusyanam

karanam bandha-moksayon

bandhaya visayasango

muktyai nirvisayam manah

(Amruta-bindu Upanisad 2)

 

 

" For man, mind is the cause of bondage and mind is the cause of

liberation. Mind absorbed in sense objects is the cause of bondage,

and mind detached from the sense objects is the cause of

liberation. "

 

Therefore, the mind that is always engaged in Krishna

consciousness is the cause of supreme liberation
