If we consider the physical map of the body and try to locate the

location of our mind with respect to time and with respect to the

perception of 'state of our mind', it is understandable that ,in the

vertical direction, sometime, and most of the time, it dwells in the

stomach (and still, in the lower regions), and we are engrossed into

physical and economical activities. When more intensely in the

physical activities, our mind is more in the domain of lust and greed.

One dimension of this activitie is the economical activities, to

satisfy the greed-propensity of the mind. Creativity is the natural

property of the mind. Even in this state of dwelling, mind is able to

create. But, the focus of that creation rises from the lust and greed

propensity, giving rise to too much attachment to the physical

existence, and that never to free the mind, from the anchorage into

more physical resource generation for the use by the individual, for

acquiring more power in financial and social climates; and this

becomes a vicious circle.

As the mind, with its natural buoyancy, and through the

awareness in spirituality, goes to the upper locations of the body,

and reaches, the heart, the perceptions in nonattachment initiates to

open up superior possibilities in living and creating, more time

tested virtues of human existence. One starts living in the

feeling-dimension, not in the looking to the self, too much, but,

looking to the others, and tries to live for the others, creates more

time-tested mind-evolving quantum of creations, not to satisfy the

physical need of the self but to stand by the side of the need of the

society or just for floating into cosmic-intuition, being ,further

naturally carried to still further up and up toward the ocean of

bliss.

Such helpage to the mind, by the mind, aimed for the natural

flotation upward is not possible, unless the life style of the

aspirant is in the celibacy, when she/he is rewarded with the freedom

of living, in nonattachment, with a perpetual view of the unveiled

face of the divine mother.

 

With best regards to the fraternity, as always.
