Guest guest Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 2. After havaing listened to the declaration of our scriptures one needs to reflect on them. Reflection means thinking constantly the ideas preached and deriving deep significances out of them. There are many who go and listen but very few follow the study persistently. Our minds are so preoccupied with worries and anxieties about worldly affairs that one can hardly grasp any new idea. The intellect gets dull and loses its capacity of remembering and thinking. Therefore in the beginning one has to make a definite effort to channelise one's thought-flow in this direction. True education brings about a revolution in the individual personality. It is our duty to try for the mental goal of perfection. The existing mental make-up has to be changed. It is between good nad evil that the current of our indications flows. We should direct it to the reghteous path. It will take a right course if the mind is directed to the right way from the wrong. The mind is freakish like a baby. It is the instrument of our cognizing things that are " not " in botht he waking and the dream states. Therfore, the remedy lies in the perfect control of the mind through a stady reeducation of it. Mind is to be controlled in its tendency to roam about as it likes among the sense-objects seeking joy and satisfaction and it to be reeducated to renouce its false fears, fantastic desires, illusory sorrows and fancied joys.
