The universe is nothing but a mode of the mind. The mind manifests itself as the external world. Time is but a mode of the mind. 2. The mischievous mind dances in the theatre of this universe to the music of the organs. 3. The mind constitutes the root of the tree of Samsara or Ajnana which ramifies in all directions with branches full of flowers, tendrils, fruits, etc. 4. All that you are now is the result of what you have thought. 5. You build your own future by the thoughts you think. Entertain divine thoughts. You will attain God-realisation. 6. Conquest of mind means conquest of the world. 7. You may overcome a thousand men in battle, but he who conquers his mind is the greatest victor. 8. Mind-contol is the indispensable disci;line for those who seek to obtain the knowledge of Atman or the Supreme Self. 9. Illusion is the vibration (Vritti) of the mind under an imagination which makes one thing appear as another thing. 10. Mind is the cause for the appearane of Ahgam (I) and Idam (this). 11. One cannot attain everlasting peace without the extinction of mind (Manonasa). 12. The seed of Ajnana or ignorance is no other than the sprout of Sankalpa or thought. 13. With the checking of all thoughts, your mind will perish. 14. Do not for a moment think of the universe. 15. Do not think of walking in the path of Sankalpa or thought. 16. Cut asunder the bond of desires through the destruction of Sankalpa (thought imagination). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
