MIND AND ITS MYSTERIES

Just as a busy officer works alone in a room by closing all the doors, so also the busy mind works alone in a dream by shutting out all the doors of the senses.

Mind is a power born of the soul. It is through mind that the Lord manifests Himself as the differentiated universe with heterogeneous objects.

Mind is merely a bundle of thoughts. Of all thoughts the thought “I” is the root. Therefore, mind is only the thought “I”.

Mind is nothing but a collection of impressions. It is nothing but a bundle of habits. It is nothing but a collection of desires arising from contact with different objects. It is also a collection of feelings aroused by worldly botherations. It is a collection of ideas gathered from different objects. Some of the old desires are constantly departing from their storehouse of the mind, and new ones are replacing them.

In the waking state, the seat of the mind is the brain; in the dreaming state the seat of the mind is the cerebellum; in the deep sleep state it rests in the heart.

Practice of telepathy, thought-reading, hypnotism, mesmerism, distant healing, psychic healing, clearly proves that mind exists and that a higher developed mind can influence and conquer the lower minds. From the automatic writing and the experiences of a hypnotized person, we can clearly infer the existence of subconscious mind which operates throughout the twenty –four hours.

If an idea is planted in the mind, it grows at night through the operation of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind never takes any rest. It works vigorously throughout. Those who know how to manipulate this subconscious mind can turn out tremendous mental work. All geniuses have control over their subconscious mind. You must understand the ways of extracting work from the subconscious mind. Subconscious mind is a wonderful underground mental factory.

Mind is the greatest force on this earth. He who has controlled his mind is full of powers. He can bring all minds under his influence. One is struck with awe and wonder at the marvelous and mysterious powers of the mind of a man. The source or home or support of this mysterious mind is God.

Any action that is done by the physical body is the outcome of a preconceived idea. The mind thinks plans and schemes at first. Then the action manifests itself. He who invented a watch at first had all ideas in his mind about the construction of the lever, various wheels, dial, etc,. These ideas materialized later on in to actuality.

A spark of light presents the appearance of a continuous circle of light if it is made to rotate quickly. Even so, though the mind can attend but to one thing at a time, either hearing or smelling, though it can admit of but one kind of sensation at a time. We are led to believe that it does several actions at a time, because it moves from one object to another with tremendous velocity, so rapidly that its successive attention and perception appear as a simultaneous activity.

The best philosophers and seers are unanimously agreed that the mind cannot actually attend to more than one thing at any given point of time, but it only appears to be doing so when it is shifting with prodigious rapidity backward and forward from one end to the other.

Mind always attaches itself to something objective. It cannot stand by itself. It is only this mind that asserts itself as ‘I’ in this body. The things that we perceive all round us are only mind in form of substance. Mind creates. Mind destroys.
