To be physically dynamic, mentally tranquil and spiritually awakened is the secret of life. Mind is the most powerful tool that can be used to unlock this secret.
Almost nine of ten people operate only through their mind. The remaining one is an enlightened being who has mastered his mind. The depth of the mind of an enlightened being is equal to the vastness of the cosmos itself. In this state of expansion, an enlightened being is in a position to achieve anything and everything. With the power and capacity of good thoughts, an enlightened being directs divine vibrations to bring perfect balance and harmony.
In the mind or heart of an enlightened being, there is no space for negative thinking, bad or bitter thoughts as these generate negative vibrations and attract people with bitter mind, impure mind and a hard heart towards us.
Enlightened beings always live in the present, as they are aware that remembering unnecessary situations of the past and worry of the future may disturb the mind. Mental irritation and feeling annoyed for reasons only lead us to loss of tranquility. Moreover, it occupies a lot of our mental space. Enlightened rishis say, “Your mind is priceless and so are the minds of others. You can retain your purity by not thinking about anybody negatively.” Mind can to be brought to a pure state through practice of meditation.
In meditative state, the mind touches the base of the soul and makes it extremely dynamic to bring out the power of intuition.
It tones our minds and churns creative ideas to innovate and create something new always. It purifies our mind and attracts those whose mind is purer than ours. Our mind seeks the company of the divine through satsanghs.
Satsanghs activate dynamism of the mind and keep our mind soaked in the nectar of divine name of God. Upanishadic teachings imparted through satsanghs strengthen the fort of our mind to the extent that our mind never turns sour. The power of the mind increases thousand times and over times more, to bring out the inner tranquility, serenity and peace without disturbing any other internal powers of the mind.
Further, meditative mind is empowered through heightened awareness, razor sharp memory, enthusiasm, stability, poise, patience and a definite sense of purpose to life. True and benign feelings then arise as the body and mind blend with the soul. Just like a tiny firecracker can shoot up to great heights when ignited. Likewise, we too are powerhouse of energy, packed with the immense power of intent.
When we consistently maintain a tranquil state of mind, our limitless energy shoots up and lightens up our soul in this world. It fills us with unconditional love. We then come to understand that love is a strong intense feeling to be experienced and enjoyed. The mind that was hitherto a spoilsport that brought in “thinking” along with it to limit its own potential now oozes the powerful universal—unconditional love for one and all.
