"You'd trust water to evaporate.

So sit until thoughts subside.

Adding water does not aid evaporation.

So no need to help the mind."

Talking To The self

When you talk to yourself in your mind, which self do you address? And how?

Usually people do not talk to their divinity, but to the most superficial aspects of their everyday personality. And often its a stream of fears, complaints and mindless repetition of old things. If we talked that way to another human being, we would have to apologise.

Learning to talk properly to the self is a spiritual endeavour. Thoughts from the past and worries about the future do not create good conversation.

Instead learn to talk to your mind as if it were a child. Talk to it with love. If you just force a child to sit down, he won't. A good mother knows how to prompt her child into doing what she wants.

Be a good mother to your mind, teach it good, positive thoughts so that when you tell it to sit quietly, it will.

Love your mind. Stay happy.

A Conversation Of The Week

"Seeker: Is nothing perfect in the universe?
Master: It depends on how you view things. You could either say nothing is perfect or everything is perfect. Perfection or imperfection is only in your thought. As long as thought is controlling your life there will be opposites; perfect and imperfect, good and bad, right and wrong because thought is divisive in nature. It postulates the opposites and compares. Without comparison there can be no thought at all, hence the problem of the perfect and the imperfect.
Where thought is not involved, there is no division, no measurement and no conflict. It is direct perception.
Everything is. The universe is."

Thought For The Weekend

"Good feelings for others are like ointments that heal wounds and re-establish friendships and relationships. Good feelings are generated in the mind, are transmitted through your attitude and are reflected in your eyes and smile.

Smiling opens the heart and a glance can make miracles happen."
Have a Nice Weekend

A Random Thought

“Any piece of knowledge I acquire today has a value at this moment exactly proportioned to my skill to deal with it. Tomorrow, when I know more, I recall that piece of knowledge and use it better.”

Thought for Today

"When God takes away something from your hands, don't think He is punishing you.

Rather He is merely emptying your hands, for you to receive something better."

Have a nice weekend.

Inner Security

"Security, everyone knows, is a major concern in life. Security concerns have many facets i.e. one's place of living should be protected from elements of nature, protection from internal as well external threats etc. Then one should be financially secure too, in order to meet one's daily needs as well as have enough for a rainy day.


While acknowledging the importance and need for all these facets of security, let us remember there is one facet of security in the absence of which all other facets of security would not be able to serve their ultimate purpose (called peace, happiness or fulfilment). This vital facet lies in being able to have inner security.


It is quite an irony of our times that while we seek to fortify our life from without, we just do not care a fig as to what is happening within our mind. It is an amusing fact of life that while we are very wise and careful in matters concerning money, we are so careless and casual about matters relating to our inner life.


We forget that most problems of life have their inner origin and thus need an inner solution rather than tinkering with outer fixing. We are quick to complain, for instance, about increasing violence and unrest in the world but rarely, if ever, do we look into the violence that exists in our mind. With so much of hostility within, what else can we expect to happen outside?

While we live in spiritual slum called our impure minds, we construct impressive structures outside.

To know what is happening in our minds, we need to develop inner detectors and radars.

Protecting oneself from within requires a sharp mind. It is not what we profess to be but we really are. What we are deep within only we know.

Inner chamber consists of not only our deepest thoughts and convictions but also our intentions, expressed or unexpressed.
One requires a refined mind to detect what is happening within the mind. This is why all spiritual masters lay so much emphasis on purity of mind. The purer a mind, the greater is the possibility of understanding and controlling it.

Impure mind is a past master in creating false grounds for continuing its present state of being."What do you think?
