Mind - The Key to Life - Part 6 BY Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,

 

The Right Contact Number

 

'When you wish to talk to someone over telephone, you just don't start speaking

soon

after

picking up the instrument, do you?  Don’t you need to know and dial the

person’s contact number first?', Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji asked.

 

We knew that Sri Sri Swamiji was trying to convey something important in His own

unique

style – in a simple

language that we can

understand…

 

Sri SriSwamiji continued… " Likewise, when you wish to speak to God and place

your

prayers before Him, you need to know the right contact number.  And that

contact number is verily the 'Mahamantra'.

 

It is only by chanting the Mahamantra that you can expect the Lord to answer

your prayers! "

Mind - The Key to Life.... contd...

 

 

Several

people, all over the world, are involved in conducting research into

the five elements ['panch bhootaas'] the Rishis of our land have,

controlling their senses and turning their vision within, discovered

several truths about the power of the mind, Bliss and God. They have

declared that happiness and sorrow are not in external factors but is a

matter of the mind. Let me explain this with a simple illustration –

even a man who enjoys a palatial house, vehicles with all modern

amenities to move about, affectionate family, prosperity, comforts and

happiness of all kinds in life loses himself in drinks and desires to

remain in that 'thoughts subdued' trance state. From this it becomes

clear that joy is a matter of the mind.

 

Further, according to our religion there is no such thing as

the mind! Thoughts verily form the mind. Other than thoughts there is

no mind. More the rising of thoughts weaker the mind gets. Lesser the

rising of thoughts stronger the mind gets. Joy is experienced. It is

very easy to understand this; even in our every day life we find that

when there is gush of thoughts it leads to confusion and we are not

happy. When thoughts lessen we experience peace of mind and are happy.

Does not everyone accept there is joy in sleep or in the state

experienced when some drug is taken – whence thoughts are controlled to

some extent?

 

Can one then speak of the deep Bliss experienced

in the state of 'no-thought', that is, in the state of total

annihilation of the mind?

 

That Blissful state is verily God,

Aatma – it is the end of spirituality. Spiritual austerities [sadhana]

like puja, japa, dhyana are verily the various stages of training

offered to attain that state of God.
