Guest guest Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 The Body and the Mind Body's needs are legitimate It is the Mind that is greedy. Body language is always honest Language of the Mind not always so. Body rests when the need arises, Mind is always restless. Body is naturally healthy , Mind causes sickness. Body is capable of self healing , Mind's disbelief spoils it. Body is like a well oiled machine, Mind abuses it. Body never wants to over indulge, It is the Mind that is corrupt. Body is the Temple of the Soul , Mind is the " Illusion". In the state of " No-Mind " , Body is weightless!! The greatest wisdom of the Body is that it Is concerned only with the present moment. It is the monkey Mind which jumps In between the past and the future !! Love ramesh HAVE A GREAT WEEK END ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Dear Sri Dr. Raju, WE have to discriminate between the different definitions of mind. Sometimes mind is used, by Sri Bhagavan as a synonym for the ego and has to be surrendered. I think this what Ramesh's poem refers to. But there is a part of the mind, containing intellectual descrimination and reason, which are nescessary adjuncts for living correctly in samsara and the pursuit of sadana. So mind is a friend as well as an enemy. I have written an article on this dilemna called Paradox of Mind published on Luthar.com All warm regards, In Him, Alan --- On Sat, 28/3/09, drrajunsp <drrajunsp wrote: drrajunsp <drrajunsp Re: Body and the Mind Date: Saturday, 28 March, 2009, 9:13 AM , ramesh chivukula <ramesh_chiv@ ...> wrote:>> > > The Body and the Mind > > Body's needs are legitimate> It is the Mind that is greedy.> > Body language is always honest> Language of the Mind not always so.> > Body rests when the need arises,> Mind is always restless.> > Body is naturally healthy ,> Mind causes sickness.> > Body is capable of self healing ,> Mind's disbelief spoils it.> > Body is like a well oiled machine,> Mind abuses it.> > Body never wants to over indulge,> It is the Mind that is corrupt.> > Body is the Temple of the Soul ,> Mind is the " Illusion".> > In the state of " No-Mind " ,> Body is weightless!!> > The greatest wisdom of the Body is that it > Is concerned only with the present moment.> It is the monkey Mind which jumps> In between the past and the future !!> > Love> > ramesh> > HAVE A GREAT WEEK END !> >Dr.Raju wrote:Dear Ramesh,if we condemn mind like this it will revolt withvengeance.If we have the capacity to use the mind as an instrumentit does miracles for us.At present ego is dominating us andis acting as our master which is bringing disaster in life.I feel that it is better to be aloof and watchful of ego gamesrather than condemning it.Pranams.

I still feel that in the very awareness of the so called enemy part of the mind i.eego,there is the solution for it,so i feel that instead of condemning that negative part of the mind which may result in counter productive response better to be just watchful of it without complicating the matters further.Watchfulness is of the self and trying to correct " what is " is the work of thought which always complicates spiritual journey.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Dear Sirs , I think the point raised by Raju garu has been very nicely closed by Alan.. I have a tendency to club the Mind and the Ego , the way Buddhists do .. To shatter the Ego is to shatter the present state of mind as it exists .. Ofcourse in its pure pristine state it becomes " Supra Mind " as Aurobindo as described..Until then we continue to wage a war against it in the most non-violent manner possible .. by endevouring to become Aware of the Mind rather than yiedling to its whims and fancies... ofcourse as long as we are in the realm of words , sometimes we mean some thing but end up conveying some other thing . If that has happened , may I be kindly excused ..

Mind, name, form, feelings Emotions, cravings, hopes and fears All included… merely an ass. We all are donkeys, whether considered most intelligent And revered as such Or regarded as the dumbest of the dumb… No different from plain asses – Likewise subject to birth, decay and death. But the remember, friend, Lucky seeker after truth, That the master, all pervading nameless self Is boundless and beyond time. Peerless ghost rider Directing and guiding all donkeys, The herd owner and sustainer Is the same resplendent one and only, Birth-less and deathless reality. There is no other. So Wake up from dreams of selfhood, oh fortunate! Friend of bright prospects, Enjoy the frolics Of the dead donkey – While there is time.
