given in package No. 03 are related to practical life and are independent
any package. These widen your intellects, removes confusion and stress
life.*It is also OK to read summary of Package 01. If you are satisfied with
knowledge of soul, then you can directly proceed to package to 02 or 03.
Part 01: SELF REALIZATION or COMPLETE TRUTH- PART I
Everybody struggles to improve his or her personality. What
personality? Why I am not satisfied with myself? Why does everybo
expect change in self from birth to death? If there is same effort from birth
death, then what is the success rate?
My Personality is what I radiate. What I radiate is the effects of what I and what all are mine. What is life? Who am I? Why am I here? From wh
have I come? What are mine? Did GOD create Universe? Did God create
the Religions? Did He make some as rich, some as poor, some as beauti
and some as ugly or handicapped? If you have interest in such matters, pa
01 and 02 will be an entertainment to you. Else you can directly move to p
03.

In life, we often use words- I and mine. But do we know exactly wh
am? What is MIND? What is Intellect? Where are these located? What
relations among these? Let us discuss about these.
We say, I saw, I heard, etc. Who saw? Who heard? Did Eyes se
Ears hear? OR Did I see through my eyes and hear through my ears?
Actually eyes themselves cannot see. I see through my eyes.Similarl
hear through my ears. If eyes can see independently and ears can hindependently, there cannot be co-ordination between eyes(seeing) a
ears(hearing). In that case every phenomenon should have been limited
that particular organ only. But practically, it is not true. For example, whe
hear a sound, a power(I) within my body acts and moves(directs) my ey
towards the source that produced the sound. While writing, there is
ordination between eyes and hands. This implies that eyes do not
themselves or ears do not hear themselves. THERE IS SOME ENTIT
THAT IS SEPARATE THAN THESE, USES THESE AN
COORDINATES THESE AND THAT IS ME. It is me who see through
eyes. I see the objects I wish to see. I open eyes when I wish. I close my ey
when I wish. Hence these organs do not act independently. I use th
according to my wish and needs. THIS entity(I) ispowerful than the orga
It owns the organs.
More explanation:- We also say My house, my car. We never say, I
the house or I am the car. This clearly implies- I am different than
house, or the car. Similarly, we say, My eyes, my hands, my body, etc.
it is also clear that- I am different than even my body. We never say, I tbody or I am the body. Hence, I am not the body made from blood, bone
flesh. I am separate than the body. I am not the organs. I am the power th
uses the organs/body.
Where this entity(I) is located and how would it be? Definitely I m
be situated inside my body itself. Hence inside every physical body, there
a nonphysical entity that is the owner of that physical body. Physical body
made from the five elements of nature. But the entity(I) that owns the bo
uses the body is beyond the nature. Because I use my body beyond the laof nature. I act according to my wish. Nature is Live less. It cannot real
itself. It does not know about itself. It does not have intelligence. It can
think, judge, discriminate or experience. The power of nature is j
physical.
Hence I am the entity that sees through eyes, hears through ears, t
through mouth, experience through the body. I have MY OWN THINKIN
POWER, JUDGING POWER, and REALIZING POWER. This Self is a
called as SOUL(Atma or Atman). Hence I am the Soul.

[Strictly(literally) speaking, it is incorrect to say My Soul or His Sou
Because I am the soul. Because of ignorance some say May His Soul R
in peace. But the right sentence is May that soul rest in peace.
But usually a soul is identified through its body. So in usage, t
phrase- Soul of Mr. X or his soul has come are used. Hence it is also o
Please note that the important point to be noted here are- SOUL AN
BODY ARE SEPARATE AND IT IS THE SOUL THAT USES THBODY].
Soul is the owner of the body. It is greater (special) than the bod
Hence powers of Soul are greater and special than the physical body. Let
understand how a soul does karma(action) through its body. All the nerves
a body are connected to the brain. Brain is the centre of the nervous syste
If I wish/need to see an object, 1]My eyes should be open, 2]Eyes should
healthy, 3]All the nerves from eyes to brain should be healthy, 4]Br
should be healthy. Even these are not sufficient. 5]My MIND should atte
in this seeing process (I should be conscious about this). If my mind
deeply busy in some other matter, I will not see the object in front of m
eyes even when my eyes are open or my body is fully healthy.
The first four points are related to the nature. They are physical. B
the last is beyond nature. It is not physical. This implies that mind is n
physical. It is not part of the physical body. Hence MIND is part of t
SOUL.
Let us learn more about this. Even if many people see an object in
same way [for sufficient time with enough clarity], they do not understanidentically. For example, a car seen by different people, say- a baby,
elderly person, a driver, a car mechanic- will be interpreted in differ
ways. The baby will not understand anything. The elder man will understa
something. The car driver will understand better. The car mechanic w
understand much more. That is- the understanding, discriminating or judg
power of different people is different. This discriminating power is called
INTELLECT. This power is also beyond nature and not physical. This
the second power of the soul.Lets go further. Even if many understand a matter in the same way,
of them do not accept/feel it identically. That is their behavior/response
not identical. For example, all/many know smoking cigarette is injurious
Health. But only some get addicted to smoking. The main reason for this
the RESOLVES*(sanskaar) in them. In simple language, sanskaar can
called as habit/nature. Individuals taste, virtues, capacity are differe
RESOLVES is the third part of the soul. So- MIND, INTELLECT AN
RESOLVES are the parts/powers/faculties or subtle organs of the so

Therefore the chaitanya entity soul has mind, intellect and resolves in its
(The word chaitanya means one that is aware of it, can experience, and c
act by itself. That is- it has intelligence, thinking power, can take initiat
by itself and has the power to realize.)
Every Soul resides in its own body. Some say Soul is everywhere. I
not true. The reason is, no relationship can be established with an entity t
is everywhere. If soul is everywhere, there cannot be any relationship wanybody, anything or with ones own body. Because one cannot establ
relation with something that is omnipresent.
[Some say- Wind/air is everywhere. Likewise Soul is a
everywhere. But truly speaking- wind is not everywhere. It is divisible. A
is made of tiny particles, called molecules that have definite size, spa
structure, etc. When we inhale, we take a part of air inside. Moreover air c
be converted into liquid or solid states also. We close windows when
want to separate impure air from pure air]. One cannot say that a single(
same) molecule of air is everywhere.
But soul(I) is(should be) indivisible. If I am divisible, I cannot experience
cannot have unique memory. Let me explain in detail.
[For the time being, let us assume that pieces of soul are spre
everywhere like wind molecules. Then these pieces are like molecules t
can enter different people and/or things. Air exhaled by a person can en
another persons body. So pieces of soul also will get transferred from o
body to the other body, trees, objects, etc. Then who is going to experien
and how!? Then even lifeless objects should have intelligence. They shoureact differently. Then I should be able to use others bodies also!
Another effect of this is- Nothing can remain mine or me through
the life span. Today if I am in a body, tomorrow I may be in another bo
Today to whom I call/experience as my father, tomorrow I should experien

tomorrow I should feel another building as my home.
But reality is against this. One feels his body constant(as his ow
throughout his life. Even bodily relations, status, degrees, job, etc are aalmost constant and stable throughout ones life. (Eg: parents and childre
Hence it is clear that every soul is INDIVISIBLE AND NO
OMNIPRESENT.
Another thing is- I alone have maximum authority on my body. Als
have maximum authority on my body alone; not on others bodies. S
should be inside my body itself. From this it is also clear that the soul
every individual body is different. This is the reason why everyon
behavior is different. So the soul in each body should be UNIQUE.

Actually there is no need to explain so much. The reason is- I can
be sum of pieces. I can be only one thing. I cannot be more than one.]
Next question: What is the form/shape of soul and where it is located
the body? All the nerves of the body are connected to brain. We experien
pleasure/pain when signals from these nerves reach brain. Hence it is cl
that soul is situated in brain.
How big can the soul be? Blood, water, bones and flesh occupy whole space inside the body. There is no significant space for soul inside
body. Everywhere inside the body, there are atoms and molecu
Therefore, the soul should be extremely small like an atom. Hence form
SOUL IS POINT. One may wonder by this, because so far no human be
or scripture (except Bhagavadgita) has said this.
Some say, soul is present everywhere inside the body. According
this statement soul is present in eyes also. In that case, there is no need of
nerves that connect eye to brain to see an object. That is- one should be a
to see even without that nerve or perhaps even without brain! Another thin
If soul is everywhere inside the body, then mind and intellects are a
present everywhere in the body. In that case, damage to any phys
organ/part of the body should also affect mind and intellect. Human org
transplantation is done. A persons blood is also supplied to another. In t
case, it is as good as- a part of mind/intellect of the first person is fed to t
other person. So it should bring change in the behavior(mind and intellec
of the other! Everyday we pass urine and stools. Can we say some of o
intellect and mind or thought energy also go with these?Not just this much. If soul is present throughout the body, shape/fo
of the soul also will be same as that of the body. Size and shape of the bo
change. In that case, we have to say that the size/shape of the soul a
changes!
Another thing is, if a person becomes physically handicapped; say
losing a hand or leg, then mental and intellectual powers ofsuch ev
person should get affected.
If you say/argue soul is not present everywhere in the body. Bucannot be small as point. It should be some what big. In that case, its pla
in a body cannot be fixed/stable. Because since size and shape of bod
differ from one another, the position of the soul also will differ. Not o
that- one will have to mention the dimensions of the soul.
Every soul is unique. That is, each soul is different from the other. T
is why we behave independently. From this also, it is clear that soul cann
be omnipresent. There cannot be more than one thing that is omnipresent
soul is omnipresent, then there cannot be any difference between the so
8/8/2019 Package 01 Self Realization
6/54
body and the nature. The only thing that can be omnipresent is the emp
space.
Hence soul has to be a point. Let me try to explain this ev
scientifically. According to science a water molecule is formed
molecule/atoms of hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms
any object in the world) are further divisible. Division of atom obtains ev
smaller particles calledprotons, neutrons and electrons. One may say atoare formed by protons, neutron and electrons. But if one asks from w
these protons, neutrons and electrons are formed?; there is no answ
Scientifically these protons, neutrons and electrons are termed
fundamental particles. Because (normally) these cannot be further divide
[In case these are divisible, then the same question can be raised aga
i.e. from what those are made up of? and those obtained sma
subatomic particles will again have to be called as fundamental particl
The point here is that, if anything is indivisible(akhanda) and unique
should be a point or very small.
Anything that is big is definitely formed by many other sma
things(particles). If soul is big(I am big), then many other small thin
should form me. Then among those many particles, which parti
experiences happiness or sorrow?. The word I becomes ambiguous].

In the process of seeing through eyes, ears and mouth are not need
In the process of hearing through ears, eyes and mouth may not be need
But in all these processes, mind works. Hence it is clear that mind is placat the central place(soul). IF MY MIND IS AT PEACE, THEN I AM A
PEACE. IF MY INTELLECT UNDERSTANDS, IT IS AS GOOD A
UNDERSTAND. HENCE IT IS CLEAR THAT MIND AN
INTELLECTS ARE WITHIN ME(SOUL). That is, they
parts(faculties) of soul. So please note that mind and intellects are not pa
of the physical body.
[Many say my mind needs peace. But the right sentence is- I ne
peace. Whether I am at peace or not is reflected through my mind.]Mind and intellects are subtle powers of the soul. They can be developed
increasing the quality of thoughts. Soul is indivisible. That is, mind a
intellects cannot be separated from a Soul.
We say, It is my habit. Habits die harder. This also implies that
habits are directly related to me(soul). Habits become sanskaar (characte
So mind, intellect and sanskaar (=resolves =character)- all are confin
(situated) in a small tiny point, and that is the Soul(I).

Hence the one that thinks good or bad is a point. The one that discrimina
is a point. The same point does good or bad actions. That point is ME,
Soul, the self.
Physical health is observed by the movements or working capacity
parts or organs of the body. Similarly power of a soul can be seen throu
ones thinking(mind), judging(intellect) capabilities as well as through
habits(character). [Words character, resolves, sanskaar can interchanged without much difference.]
--------- -------------
Now let us learn the working of mind, intellect and sanskaars. Mind is lik
horse. Intellect is the controlling rope. I, the soul is the horse rider.
According to my desire/need(mind), my knowledge(intellect) and
sanskaar that is filled(updated) in me till today(till the last instant), thoug
emerge through mind. That is- I think according to my desire or needs,
knowledge I have and my habits.
Good goals(desire) and good sanskaars help in creation
good(positive) thoughts. Intellect has the power to decide/judge whether
thoughts are good or bad, right or wrong, etc. Mind can also be called
the door of the soul and intellect as the stomach of the soul. Thoug
are food to the Soul. Positive thoughts increase the power of the So
Waste and negative thoughts decrease the power of the soul.
[Positiveness means nearness to truth and long lasting. What is tru
Body is mortal and soul is immortal. In simple terms, following tru
means to give more importance to soul than the body. It is paying rirespect and treatment to each according to its state].
Mind can be controlled by the intellect. That is- intellect is above t
mind. But the Soul(I) should use the intellect properly. When the mind-ho
starts wandering, it should be controlled through the intellect(determinatio
By determination, mind gets concentrated. After that, one should contin
right practice. That is, do positive (right) thinking. That is- think, fe
praise more about soul than the body. Churning of positive thoug
increases the power of intellect which increases the efficiency of thoughThis process is regenerating and will ultimately make the soul powerful.
[It is like this. To train the horse, initially it takes frequent use of
rope(intellect). As horse(mind) goes on getting training, the stress
rope(burden on intellect) goes on reducing. Similarly in the effort
controlling (and ruling) the Self (Self Transformation), one reaches the st
of perfection at the end. That is, mind is automatically/completely merged
positive/elevated thoughts. Then there is no burden on intellect. There is
confusion, fear or mischievous(=chanchalata- hindi word) . THE SOU

SITS IN ITS OWN REAL STATUS. This state is known as carefree state
liberation in life].
Hence I am a tiny point of divine light and might that resides in bra
In front view, I(soul) am seen between the eyebrows in my forehead. Ma
things that certify this(place of mind) are given below.
[1)In India, many people put a dot in their forehead between
eyebrows. 2)When we salute, we bring our hand near to our forehe3)Bowing the head is a way of expressing regard. This implies tha
am(soul is) situated in the head. 3)The word mastakamani(jewel
forehead), shiromani(jewel at head) {mastaka=forehead, shira=he
mani=jewel}are famous and divine words]
But unfortunately, many believe soul is situated in heart. But the he
is just a pump that supplies/circulates blood. It is already explained that
our nerves are connected to brain and we experience through brain. Hen
souls place should be in brain only.
When we get emotionally disturbed, the blood pressure is affec
immediately. Hence body-conscious (ordinary) people might have thou
that the soul resides in heart! Ordinary people can realize changes that oc
in body only. Even though the cause for emotions is the thoughts created
the brain, they have not understood it. A persons mental stability can
observed by the waves(EEG) those get generated in brain]. {Bo
consciousness means considering/feeling oneself as body. It is ignorance
the soul.}.
For simplicity, it can be said- soul is like a driver and the body is likcar. The soul drives/controls/uses its body like a driver drives his car. So
more relations between a soul and its body are mentioned below.
Body is a Car. Soul is the Driver.
Body is an Instrument. Soul is the Operator.
Body is a house. Soul is the Owner/User.
Body is a dress. Soul is the one who wears it.
Body is a shoe. Soul is the one who wears.
[Body is similar to a chariot. Sense organs are like horses. Soul is the riderIn the above, the first entity is experience-less, intelligence-less thi
The second entity enjoys/uses/controls the first one. Price of the first can
estimated. But the price of the second cannot be estimated. This also clea
indicates that we are not just blood, bones and fleshes whose price could
estimated. That is, we are not just made from physical nature. There is so
entity(soul) in the body that is above the nature.
[Price of a dead body is estimated. Deadbody(corpse) is nothing but
soul-less body. Till the soul is present in the body, the body is a living bo
8/8/2019 Package 01 Self Realization
9/54
When the soul sheds(leaves) the body, the body becomes life-less. Then
body is buried or burnt. So it is clear that soul is above the nature or physi
objects. Hence its price cant be estimated].
A note:- A driver thinks more about himself than the car. Because for hi
he is more important than the car. Similarly we sho
think/feel/remember/experience more about/of soul than our body in our l
That is the truth.-------------- -----------------
Some say- MIND is part of brain. If so, let them cut and separate mi

If mind is part of brain, one should be able to draw the pictures of mi
intellects, etc!
Another thing: A living-cell of a body is made from carbon, hydrog
oxygen and nitrogen which are just physical. But thoughts are non-physic
If mind is physical(part of brain), can we say- physical things produce no
physical thing/energy(mental energy)? Scientists may be doing research
this. Let us wait and see.
Anything in the world come under three categories- NO
LIVING(JADA), LIVING(JEEVA) AND CHAITANY
(INTELLIGENT).
Objects like machines, furniture, etc and dead things(dead plants a
dead bodies of man and animals) are Non-living things. There are no spec
actions (like consuming food, breathing, reproduction, etc) in these objecThere may be some actions in man-made machines. But their function can
fully controlled. Machines can be switched off or on. There is no continuo
biological process or intelligence in them. Machines do not grow. There
no living cycle in machines. Hence these come in category NON LIVING
Plants and trees come in the category LIVING. They are made fr
living cells. The above said actions occur in a predefined manner in the
Man has no full control over these like he has on machines, computers, e
These(plants and trees) follow laws of nature. But still they do not haintelligence(soul).
Animals come in the category of CHAITANYA. There are liv
cells(physical body) as well as soul(non-physical entity). There are ag
two categories in this. One is less intelligence animal(normally called
ANIMALS), and the other is highly intellectual animal(normally called
HUMAN BEINGS).
Plants and trees act 100% according to the laws of nature. In ext
ordinary situations, they do not attempt to rescue themselves. This impl

seeds. A plant will always move towards sunlight. IT WILL NEVER TR

effect. The reason is- it has no intelligence. It is not aware of itself. T

THAT IS, ALL SEEDS GROW/MOVE AGAINST GRAVITATIONAFORCE.
Animals behave closely to nature, but not to 100%. Behavior
different animals (even of a same species) are different in sa
circumstances. They behave according to their desires and needs. Th
consume food to the degree of their satisfaction. They try to res
themselves in dangerous situations. That is, they have intelligence(soul)
their body.
But the level of intellect in animal souls is very less. In comparison
human souls, they are intelligenceless. That is why MAN is ruling
whole world. Behavior of animals can be predicted to a great extent. But i
very difficult to predict behavior of man. There are a lot of similarities
behavior of two cows. But it is very difficult to find similarities in hum
beings. One may be an engineer, another doctor, the other saint, thief, dac
etc. DUE TO HIGH LEVEL OF INTELLIGENCE, EVERY MA
BUILDS HIS OWN UNIQUE PERSONALITY.
There is no limitation to the power of intellect and mind of a hum
being(even to his desires also!). A deer fears to a lion, but not to anothdeer. A rat fears to a cat, but not to another rat. A cat fears to a dog, but n
to another cat. But man fears to man!. Mans enemy is man himself. T
reason for this is mans vipareeta_buddhi (wrong usage of intellect). Tha
why both most divine and highest devil personalities can be found in hum
beings. Human soul is categorized as punyaatma(pure so
paapaatma(sinful soul), mahaatma(great soul), dharmaatma(religious so
etc. No animal has bad habits like man. Usually animals do not get subjec
into dangerous and innumerous diseases like human beings. Hence it is clthat life of many human beings is worse than even animals. Man comm
suicide. But animals do not commit suicide. Mental stress is much high
human beings than animals due to his ego level. This also implies
intelligence level of human soul is much higher than animal soul.
Under same circumstance or environment, two plants grow identical
Two animals do not grow exactly same. But still there are a lot
similarities. But it is impossible to find same development in two hum
beings brought up under same circumstances. Hence it is clear that there
8/8/2019 Package 01 Self Realization
11/54
absolutely no intelligence in plants. Animals have it to a certain extent. B
man has it to the greatest extent. By proper education and training, hum
intellect can be developed to a vast extent. By any education, intellect
animals cannot be developed beyond a limit. Trees and plants cannot
educated.
[Hence human soul is different than animal soul. Human soul w
not take birth in animal species. Human soul will take rebirth in humspecies and animal soul in animal species].
Cause for all problems is body-consciousness. Remedy for
problems is soul- consciousness. Considering me as body, getting interes
in bodily relations, bondages and materials is body-consciousness. Feel
that any problem to body will affect self(me) is also body consciousness. I
like this: Wearing of new, neat, good costumes gives happiness. Dirty, ug
old clothes give unhappiness. Similarly clean, beautiful, healthy body giv
happiness. Ugly, old and diseased body gives unhappiness. But if the clo
sticks to our body, the unhappiness is the greatest. This is the bo
consciousness.
That is- being unable to forget body is body consciousness. Sou
separate than the body. Body is like dress of the soul. Soul is the one w
wears the body. Hence a healthy soul means one who is capable of putti
the dress(use body, think body, act) according to his wish/needs and
detached from the body as soon as work is over. The one who wears dr
feels his dress as just an object having no life/liveness. Similarly, we sho
feel our body as just an object. But today we are not only incapableforgetting our bodies, but also are attached even to others bodies. This
body consciousness.
[Or perhaps, our situation is worse than this. WE ACT AS IF I A
THE CLOTH(BODY) ITSELF. That is, I(soul) have considered(determin
myself(soul) as the costume(body). What a great ignorance and hopel
state is this!. I consider myself as male, female, young, old, white, black, e
I consider myself as child of the person who gave birth just to the body!]
If driver is attached(bonded) to the car, he cannot drive it properly. Tdriver has to be seated in his seat. Right method to decrease the speed is

organs to the highest possible extent than any animal. Man suff
innumerable diseases and is highly addicted to drugs as well as to wro
diet. Man is busy in inventing weapons to destroy man.

Let us learn more about ourselves. Consider a crows shit(stool) fall
on the head of a person walking on the road. If it is morning jogging tim
and nobody had been present nearby, he might not have got stressed muHe may forget the incident easily. The effect on him will be more if he is
the way to his office and dressed in fine suit. It will still be more if t
incident had happened in front of many others. If his colleagues were a
present, the effect will be even more.
The effect of a karma(action) on me(soul) is called sanskaar(resolve
To the extent ones intellect accepts(FAITH) it(any matter or the situati

remains in ourSCREEN OF REMEMBRANCE (smruti_patala= kanna
language word). If the intellect takes(acceptancy =faith) it seriously or if
are deeply interested (practice= thinking again and again) in the matter,
effect (feeling or experience) will be deeper. It will remain in
memory(remembrance) for longer duration. This will get reflected in o
VISION(DRUSHTI) AND ACTION(KRUTI).
ATTITUDE(VRUTTI) IS THE SEED. REMEMBRANC
(SMRUTI) IS THE NOURISHMENT. VISION (DRUSHTI) AN
ACTION (KRUTI) ARE THE FRUITS. Those whose attitude cannot
changed are known as firm minded people. They do not consider oth
matters seriously. Their intellect is centered in a predetermined goal/sta
{Attitude projects the habit(character) of a soul(person). Remembran
projects his present state of mind and intellects}.
Our present thoughts are result of our present desire(mind), presknowledge(intellect) and the past habits(resolves developed so far). If
present thoughts (remembrance= practice) support the past(= existi
resolves, the resolves become deeper. For example, if a person having ha
of smoking continues smoking, the habit gets deeper. But if desire
opposite to the resolves(habit), practice can be opposite to the habits. T
will change resolves. This is called transformation of resolves(habit) or Se
Transformation.
Another example: If you WISH(DESIRE) to go to Bangalore, and hathe KNOWLEDGE of the route as well as excellent driv
EXPERIENCE(HABIT), you develop confidence in the work(=actio
journey). You reach goal faster. If there is lack in any one of these, the spe

If you have complete knowledge of the route and strong desire

on the way. This will delay the journey. If you get deeply interested in si

Now let us discuss about developing the self. Even if all the students
a class are taught by the same teacher, they do not pass with sa
grade(marks). The reason is- individuals desire(interest), understand
capacity are different. [the factoravailability of resources and facilities a
not considered here] This makes the practice(effort) of the students numb
wise.
Some students concentrate in studies. Even when guests visit th
house, they talk to them for few minutes and keep themselves busy
studies. They do not take any matter seriously. So they become capable
forgetting other matters easily. Their mind is engaged in smruti(practice) a
they reach goal easily. But those, whose desire is not firm and are interes
in other waste/negative matters, cannot concentrate their mind and intelle
properly. Hence their practice will not be right. This creates difficulty
reaching goal.
There are some who are really interested in studies. But th
understanding capacity (intellectual power) is less. What should they dFortunately, the understanding capacity can be increased. Some extra eff
is needed. They will have to read more number of times. They may ne
others help (or more books and related materials) in clearing their doub
(In the previous example, the person on journey towards Bangalore will ha
to clarify the route details from others). If these are done properly, definit
they will pass with good grades.
It is like this: If the mouth of the vessel is small(less understandi
capacity), then it takes more effort in filling it. But as the vessel is beifilled- that is as the knowledge is digested, the receiving capacity increa
(vessels mouth go on widening). More effort is needed during init
period only. But the student should never be lazy, get tired or lose interes
studies. [In other words, it can be said like this: If the vessel is small(we
intellect), less liquid only can be filled. But as it is filled, the size of
vessel (intellectual power) increases.]
Resolves has effect on attitude. Attitude has effect on thoug
(smruti=remembrance). Individuals resolves is different. Hence individua
8/8/2019 Package 01 Self Realization
16/54
thoughts differ. RESOLVES CONTRIBUTE HIGHEST TO ONE
PERSONALITY.
ATTITUDE is formed by RESOLVES. Resolves is formed
THOUGHTS(smruti=remembrance). Hence past thoughts are cause
present attitude. Present attitude, present knowledge and present des
yield present thoughts. So past thoughts(resolves), present knowledge a
present desires are causes of present thoughts. If I want to change mysthen I should change my present thoughts. SO THE ONLY WAY T
CHANGE SELF IS TO CHANGE PRESENT KNOWLEDGE AN
PRESENT DESIRES. That is to get right knowledge and develop rig
desire. This will change my present thoughts. This will change
existing(past) resolves. This will ultimately change the attitude. So
changing thoughts, I can change everything. INTELLECT is the one t
helps us in this.
We human beings have the highest power, the intellect. We understa
things to the highest possible extent by intellect. Intellect has the power
understand, discriminate and judge. Not only that, it can control mind. T
is called the power of determination. We, human beings should use o
intellect properly. Intellect should decide(= I should decide= I should use
intellect to decide= I should make myself aware of) the things that are go
correct, useful and necessary. Then by determination, I sho
engage(practice) my mind in these thoughts. Then the intensity of wro
desires(thoughts) emerging in mind will become weak and eventually d
Patience, right knowledge and strong determination brings continuopractice.
In many cases, it is difficult to learn(adopt) new things. Eg: exercise
may need a week or a month of honest effort. Right knowledge a
Determination brings honest effort. It takes more than 15 years to become
Engineer or Doctor. Patience and continuous practice are necessary.
What is education? It is nothing but DIRECTING AND ENGAGIN
MIND ACCORDING TO INTELLECTS DIRECTIONS (KNOWLED
of the respective subject/field). Man gets high status by education. Lifealso similar. We use our mind and intellects according to knowledge, desi
circumstances and resolves in us.
An intelligent person controls his Mind(horse) through Intellect(rop
But less intelligent persons Mind(horse) itself drives the Intellect and
RIDER. Definitely, danger is ahead!.

form our embodiment (swaroop) [As the smruti, so is the swaroop]. As
swaroop, is the saphalataa (success). Smruti becomes swaroop. Swaro
becomes success(= result).
As said earlier, effect of an action is(forms) the resolves. But the eff
of an action is the effect of thoughts(smruti) not just action literally. In oth
words- WHAT WE THINK IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT WDO. We are more affected by our thoughts than just physical actions.
other words WE EXPERIENCE WHAT WE THINK AND NOT WHA
WE DO. For example, a bus conductor (one who issues ticket to passenge
puts his hand forward. A beggar also puts his hand forward. Action is sa
in both the persons. But there is great difference in their thoughts/experien
The conductor does it with authority (demanding money to issue ticket),
the beggar does it helplessly to beg alms. The conductor may put forward
hand more number of times than the beggar everyday. But his embodim
(resolves) will never become that of a beggar. The reason is clear- during
action, the smruti(realization= thoughts= experience) in them were differe

Just see- film actors become ready to perform any action. The hero may pl
the role of a beggar. He may appear in dirty clothes in a movie. The fi
actors become capable of doing any action because they are highly paid.
if in any action payment is high, one becomes ready to do that.
But in real life, these actors will have high ego. Hence they fail in rlife. But if we understand the power of thoughts and their fruits, we c
overcome the effect of any action. The person becomes capable of enjoyi
the life just by thoughts. For that one should know different types of though
and their fruits which are explained in detail in part 02]
Take another example. Assume that you utter the same words H
are you? with a baby, child, friend, lover, parents, stranger, subordina
and with an animal. The emotions(experience, realization) that occur
different at different situations. (One may not have even courage to utthese words to his senior official!). Hence the resolves that develop in ev
individual is different. [That is why no two persons in the world can ha

ignore that. If you hear that in a television, you may not get upset at a

knowledge of profit made the intellect powerful.
Same phenomena occurs in these cases- 1)Students become capable
sacrificing sleep and work hard during examination days. 2)One works ev
night during business seasons. 3)A mad person or a drunkard also behaves
discipline when he sees a policeman. That is- the intellect gets awakenwhen it realizes the fruit(here, the loss). Hence it is very important to kn
the fruit of an action. Else action may not be useful. This is kar
philosophy. Deeper points are explained in part 02.
So it is clear that mind should be under the control of intellect and
of the old habits. Some do not fear to commit great sins like murder. Th
are determined to do such actions. Their intellect (=they) will not beco
upset by their actions.(Eg: terrorists). A butcher does not repent for
action. Some determine that they will not give up smoking. Their intellec
made inactive in such matters. Even if intellect gives wrong signals, th
ignore them. Hence large ripples/emotions do not arise in their mind. Th
life proceeds without much confusion/hesitations. But when the smoker g
cancer or T.B, he repents a lot. But it is late or sometimes too late. The pa
loss and sorrow they experience could be multifold. Sometimes they w
have to bear it till the end of life. Hence it is said, the boat of truth m
fluctuate, but can never sink. There may not be shortcuts in the path
truth. There may be tests in the path of truth. The tests are just to check, cl
past karmic account and not to threaten (more explained in part 02).[Dangers, risks are there in path of lies also. So one should not fear
tests in the path of truth. These tests are due to previous account(wro
actions) and are to check ourselves.
When a patient gives up the previous bad habits, symptoms of dise
may arise. It is actually not disease. It is healing crisis, during which
body is being cleaned. One should have patience at that time.
During manufacturing process, the product has to undergo so
specific tests. The aim is not to spoil the product, but just to test it. Tduration of healing or the test is less. So the circumstances in life should
upset us. But if we are not stable during that time, it is as though we are s
diseased, or like weak product. It is as though we failed in the test. So
will have to appear for the test once again. That is-
problem(circumstances) will arise again. As this repetition increases
becomes resolves and fear becomes our resolves. Fear becomes one of
natural qualities! Later it requires more effort. So by fearing, the probl

never cures. So one should give up fear and hesitation if he has to bri
change in his life.]
There may be shortcuts in the path of Lie. But the life of Lie is less a
the end is always sorrow. In path of truth, fruit is always sweet. The path
truth is clear, simple and straight. But one should know truth.
The intellect is to understand, to check anything for rightness, to dir
mind to reach the goal. If the intellect is proper, then only riunderstanding and right experience is possible. For example, if a child see
car, it cannot experience anything special. An intellectual person understan
and experiences better. So one should use his intellect properly. Knowled
is needed to understand and faith and practice to progress.
But there is difference in understanding and experiencing. If the sa
situation is understood properly by two persons, they need
experience/feel it in the same way. To experience anything, one has to acc
it. For example, in a cricket match or war between two countries, the citiz
of different countries experience it differently even though they
understand it identically. Citizens of country to which the winner belon
enjoy happiness and citizens of the country of the loser experience sorro
Citizens of other countries may not consider the result seriously.

IS MAN A MACHINE?
Detailed, accurate study of a machine is possible. Its behavior can
predicted almost completely. For example, we can be sure that a car gives
kms per a litre of petrol. There is definite procedure to repair a car. It can
repaired in less/known time. But repairing a body(curing disease) is not
easy. But what about Mind(soul)?! (It is still more complicated) Today thare many people who are known as psychiatrists (mental surgeons). But th
do not know what MIND or INTELLECTs are! Still they have such degr
from well known universities!
Some say Man is also like a machine. In that case, behavior of
human beings should have been same. At least human beings of same s
age group, etc should have same behavior. Man uses machines.
Machines also use Men? Man creates machines. Is the converse tru
Machine can be switched off whenever desired. It does not need regusleep like us.
One interesting thing is: A machine is designed before
manufacturing. But man is designed (developed) after* his manufactur
(birth). A machine cannot improve itself or cannot add new functions to it
itself. It is man who develops machine. But man can change himself.
Machine does not operate itself. There is an operator who contr

There are No controversies on the knowledge of a Machine. There i
definite procedure for its production, use, maintenance and repair. Man h
gone on improving capacity, efficiency and services that can be provided
machine by inventions. He has invented new machines.
There are Some controversies on the knowledge of a Body. Thawhy we have different types of health education- like Homoeopat
Allopathy, Ayurveda, Unani, Acupressure, Magnetotherapy, Nature thera
and so on. Even though there are many and more techniques to cure a bo
man is not capable of increasing the efficiency of the human body or
decreasing the diseases. New diseases are arising! From birth till death, m
is living (surviving) on the base(grace) of these dangerous medicines. So
patients have to take medicines till death. Just think: Are there doctors
animals? Even then they do not get severe health problems!
Maximum controversies (confusions) are in the knowledge
SOUL(and GOD). There are countless opinions, religions, scriptures, gur
etc who quarrel among themselves. There have been wars in the name
religion and God. There is no communal harmony in world. Hence it is cl
that 1)Man knows enough about machines. 2)His knowledge about body
not enough. 3)But his knowledge about soul, mind, intellect is very mu
less or he has wrong knowledge about the soul.
[Just see mans condition:- Objects and machines are far from man.
knows them well. Body is very close to him. He does not know abouproperly. But the soul- that is HIMSELF, he is totally unaware of that or h

Today tension, worries, mental diseases are increasing with
alarming rate. Rich, healthy, young educated people also commit suici

operating and using machines. But operating (controlling and ruling) MIN
and BODY is more important. Man lacks these. Today Man has come t
state of destructing both humanity and nature. It is as though whhumanity wishes to commit mass suicide (Everybody digging the grave
both them as well as for others).
The reason for saying the above is to clarify the fact that Man hav
the highest power(intellect), has not used it in right way, but has us
negatively.
One more thing to those who say man is just like an object o
machine: An object is seen/accepted in the same way (identically) by all
house or car is seen and used like a house or car by all irrespective of th

The same Mr. X may be enemy of another. He may be a stranger or nothi
to some others. Hence it is clear that man is not just combination of fle

HOW TO CURE DISEASE OF MIND?To repair any machine, one should know its working procedure. Fi
it is serviced (cleaned) and foreign particles, if any are removed. Th
condition of all the parts is checked. The fuel must also be proper.
To cure body, right food(includes fresh air and sunlight) and rig
actions(including exercise, way of living, sleep) are necessary. This includ

Which Knowledge is power?:- It is said KNOWLEDGE
POWER. But poor man considers the knowledge of nature and objects
the real knowledge. Today man has attained physical/material knowledge
a vast extent. He knows atoms, protons, and their properties. He can cou
even one millionth of a second or much lesser than that. He has develop
missiles. He is capable of destroying the universe many times. He
become such a powerful creature. BUT MAN IS LIVING IN FEAR ANANXIETY! Just see- when a person gets power, his fear should go
decreasing. But today as mans power has increased, his fear also
increased! So dont you think- 1)the real power is somewhat different th
what man thinks and 2)mans real power has decreased and man is s
becoming weaker?
We need knowledge in the right order. Soul is more importa
than body which is more important than machines and materials. So
should have maximum knowledge of Soul. Lesser knowledge of Bodyenough. Even lesser knowledge of Objects is enough. There is no need
know what is there in sun, moon, etc!
-------------- -----------------
WHY DO WE NEED COMPLETE TRUTH?:-
Complete truth is needed to use anything rightfully. That is 1)to get f
benefit of the thing(situation) and 2)not to be deceived from it. There
always Dos and Donts in everything. So one should know his rights a
responsibilities. Without realizing SELF properly, this is not possible.

Some say- I will live according to my wish. Why should I both
about these? To light a wooden stick, kerosene oil is enough. Even gh
can be used for the same. But it is a loss. If that loss is ok for you, you c
definitely proceed according to your wish. Children play pebbles. One c
use pebbles made from gold also! It is left to individual to decide about
own life.
---------------------- ---Knowledge And Experience:-
Knowledge and Experience are the biggest treasures in life. Wh
among these is greater? Take an example. A boy put string fixed with fo
particle into a pond to tempt a fish. He had placed a glass sheet as
obstacle between the fish and the food particle. The fish tried to reach
food. But it could only hit and kiss the glass. Then he lifted the string fo
while and lowered it again into water. The fish again tried to reach the fo
but failed due to the glass sheet. He did this four to five times. Fish tried a
got tired. Next time, the boy removed the glass sheet and immersed just
string only. But this time, the fish did not try at all DUE TO PA
EXPERIENCE. Here the fish had experience. But that experience was
only waste, but also misleading.
Hence any experience not based on knowledge(reality) is of no u
Experience gained from ignorance can be misleading or dangerous. There
a story in India which explains this- like *the cat of tennaaliraama(Ra
of tennali) disliked milk, and *a Brahmin went to market, bought a c
tied it before performing shraadha(a ritual process) of his late father.So just imagine how our actions would be if there is no ri
knowledge! How man is moving? Man is continuously descending. All
elements of nature are polluted. Natural resources are getting exhaust
Temperature of atmosphere is increasing (Global Warming).
Education is given from childhood itself. The reason is to deve
knowledge. From education, one gets good status and job. From the job,
gets (right) experience. This increases his value. During job he also g
more training. In this way, his knowledge and experiences go on increasand the person develops properly. Hence both knowledge and experience
needed; but first knowledge. Experience should be based on knowledge
Consider a coolie, porter or a watchman. They do not have mu
knowledge of professional education. Even after many years of experien
(service), they will be in the same position. There is no much progress
their life. But a person having good degree attains far better status in li
That is why- it is said, Education is Power. Better the education bette
the fruit.

In education, goal is decided far earlier. One does not go on reading
practicing what he sees/gets. He practices the subjects that have more va
in society, that are of his interest, etc and related/useful to him. So initial
the student should be aware of different positions in the society. Th
according to his capacity, he selects one or few options in them. Hen
knowledge of the outside world also becomes a necessity. One day, he h
to stand on his own feet. He has to face many circumstances in lIntelligent people prepare themselves before the problems arise. A fool sta
digging well for water only when his house gets fire!.
We need knowledge of both good and bad. But there is no need to
bad experiences. One should know the effect of poison; but there is no ne
to have its experience. One should know bad effects of drinking alcoh
smoking cigarettes; but by having experience of these, one is not going
gain anything. In fact, there may be loss. So knowledge not only shows
the way for better(profit), but also saves us from danger(loss). That is w
there is a saying- Na hi jnaanEna sadrusham [Nothing(Na) is equal
knowledge (jnaana)]
{Hence knowledge of WORLD DRAMA is also needed. That is
knowledge of three times-past, present and future. That is the knowledge
beginning, middle and end of the universe. That is the religo-polit
(complete history and geography) knowledge. The Principle (Chief) act
creator, director of this drama reveals the full knowledge. He is also called
SEED OF HUMAN TREE. One should know different personalities; tha
the hero- heroines (highest possible status) of the human tree(world dramOtherwise our aim itself may not be correct. Then our effort will be in v
or yield lesser fruit}. Details of world drama is given in part 02.
[A note:- Knowledge and experience are the biggest treasures of l
So- As one grows and becomes old, his happiness should go on increasin
is it not? Because he gains both knowledge and experience! But sorr
enters in life as we grow older. What does this imply? This implies that t
knowledge and experience what we have gained is just about materials a
that of bodyconsciousness. Hence they cannot support us during the moimportant time of our life]. If a person has real knowledge and ga
experience based on that, happiness will go on increasing even
becomes older.

Without believing or being aware of the soul, all give importance to it!
An object is seen in the same way by all. For example, all- irrespect
of cast, creed, religion, age, sex, etc, consider a car as car. What abo
human beings!? One calls a person as father. Another calls the same pers

as husband, son, friend, colleague and so on. If man is just like a machine
object, how could these relations built up?
In some cases, one changes his religion; say a Hindu gets conver
into a Muslim. Then his friends may become his enemies. If man is noth
but a combination of flesh, bones and blood, how could these be possib
Hence it is clear that there is an entity inside the body that uses, or contr
the body. This has high influence on (the self as well as) others and socieSo the major influence is not the physical power or matter that is contain
in the human body(flesh and bones), but is the thinking characteris
intellectual ability and behavior which comes out of that body. T
intelligence, character is not present in non-living objects. It is subtle(n
corporeal). It is in the soul and that is the real I.
-----
MIND is the part of Soul; not the part of body(brain):-
It is already been explained that MIND is part of the soul. But o
more point is worth to mention here. Many saints, sages or religious peo
say Mind is produced by food. Their argument is- If one does not eat fo
for weeks, he cannot think. Hence mind is produced by food. So it should
part of body. [Even Scientists and doctors used to say Mind is part of bo
(brain). But now many of them say Mind is not part of brain. Brain hous
the Mind. Now many scientists believe that there is metaphysical entity
brain.]. More explanation is given below.
What do we think? We think about ACTIONS. Actions are to
performed through BODY. And body needs food to perform actions. Jthink, if the petrol tank of the car is empty, how the driver can drive? He w
take rest. He will not try to move(drive) car. Similarly when we stop food
body, the soul/mind will take rest. So the argument that says mind
produced by food is incorrect.
Rest= Swadharma= Original Quality of the soul= Peace:-
Swadharma (real quality, property or characteristics) of soul is PEAC
Peace is the state of complete detachment (liberation). It is the abseninstability. In other words, it is the state of absence of negative and waste
thoughts. That is- during peace, thoughts related to bondages of body, bod
relations, materials, etc are absent. In other words, there will not be a
ripples in mind. We(the soul) get exhausted(tired) everyday. Hence we
asleep(PEACE) daily.
Why do we need sleep? Is it due to just physical tiredness or even m
also? A coolie or a farmer works in the field during the whole day. His mi
has no work, but body gets loaded. A student or a scientists minds a
8/8/2019 Package 01 Self Realization
30/54
subjected to heavy work. But their body is not loaded. A lazy person has
work to body or mind. Still all of them need almost same amount of slee
So what is the real cause of tiredness?
Sleep/rest is needed to both body and mind. How these get tired? Wh
they are stressed, they get tired(example: disease, overload, mental stre
wandering of mind).
Take an example:- Consider three persons. Let the first one sing mufor one hour. Let the second give lecture to students for one hour. Let
third give lecture to public for one hour. Let the fourth gossip, talk and h
useless, waste matters and rumors for one hour. Here all of them have us
their mouth and ear for the same duration(one hour). But tiredness in f
case will be least and in the last case will be highest.
The reason is- in the first case, there is no confusion. The person ne
not bother about others. All that is to be sung is already programmed insi
In the second case, the person has to check whether the listeners understa
or not. The third person has to be more attentive. There can be possibility
threat from public. In the fourth case, mind and intellect will be wander
here and there with highest speed. Hence the tiredness will be more in l
two cases. Tiredness increases with doubt, anxiety, fear, wandering, etc.
If a person works within his capacity, his body does not
overloaded. Hence the farmer can work for the whole day. There is
confusion in his work. His mind also will be stable since he knows his wo
well. Even though the student or the scientist think deeply, they
concentrated (quite stable) in a matter. Hence mind is directed in a straipath. So they become capable of using their mind and intellects for the wh
day(say 8 to 10 hours). But one cannot gossip for 8 to 10 hours. One cann
express anger for 10 hours. Soon he will get exhausted.
Now let us see the cause of tiredness is in a lazy person. He has
work to either body or mind. Even then how does he get tired? The reason
his mind and intellects are influenced by body, bodily relations a
materials.
So I become restless when my mind wanders (is caught) in things thare less important than ME(SOUL). More the mind is stable, less is
tiredness.
Soul(I) is eternal. It is a point. It is master of the body. It is greater th
nature. Hence it(we) should not get attracted by any material or other bod
(physical personalities of others). Getting influenced by others is as good
bringing self to a lower stage. This is as good as forcing a King out of
throne. This brings dissatisfaction and is a violence to the self. This is l
an all time engineer being forced to practice medicine or something tha

themselves as body itself. That is they consider themselves as male, fema
Hindu, Muslim, etc. So-called religious people are conscious of soul t
little more extent. They do not commit(or commit less) sins. Their actio
are special compared to an ordinary person(citizen). But nobody knew
knows that SOUL IS A POINT OF DIVINE LIGHT AND MIGHT.
[Even though many say, soul is different than body and eternal, they
not know its form and place in the body. Many say one should do dhya(meditation= think of= remember) of God and Soul. But without know
the form, how can one think about that? If I tell you remember(think of) M
X, can you do that without having his complete introduction? So if one j
says- think of soul or the Supreme(God), what is the use? It is as good
directing to eat food from an empty plate!]
Due to lack of the knowledge of self, everybodys (including a la
persons) mind is trapped in his own body, others body and phys
materials. This is like King wandering here and there for satisfaction. Su
act can never bring satisfaction. Because wandering is against Kin
quality/nature. Hence these negative thoughts (lust, anger, greed, attachme
ego, anxiety, stress) make the mind(soul) tired. This is why even a la
person also needs sleep of same duration. People, who have less negat
thoughts, get good sleep. Others do not get even good sleep!
A driver cannot perform his duty either he is tired OR his car is faul
Due to the mind being engaged in body, and bodily relations continuously
the time, it(I, the soul) gets tired. [Hence we need sleep periodically (daily
This is like the driver(I) getting tired.Similarly, if a car is forcibly damaged, or not supplied with fuel, driv
cannot use the car. Keeping fast for long duration is forcibly making
car(body) weak. In case of some serious diseases, we cannot think (cre
thoughts in normal manner) normally. This does not imply that mind is p
of the food. Actually this is good(needed) thing. Because, during th
periods(illness or fasting), body needs complete rest. Unless mind is at re
body cannot be at complete rest(already explained above). So when the bo
becomes weak, automatically the soul takes rest; that is mind goes into real state(peace). Hence the traffic of thoughts is reduced. Hence o
becomes unable to think when he is physically tired.
[One more thing:- If one argues, condition of body influences min
Hence mind is part of body. Then all should think identically under sa
conditions! For example, consider many boys are playing football. Many
them fall many times. Some of them cry when they get pain. Some of th
do not show pain externally. Some of them do not care such things at a
Why the difference? Mental response/states of patients having same deg
8/8/2019 Package 01 Self Realization
33/54
of illness are not the same. Consider four persons being attacked
gangsters. One person may counter attack; the other may run. Another o
may take revenge later. The last one may complain to police. Why su
difference under same physical conditions? So it is clear that there
something in the body that takes(considers) all these into account, analy
the situation(discriminates) and takes decision according to its o
taste(ego, character, etc). Truth is so simple. Hence the above argumenwrong.]
Another important thing:- Today, man does not think about himself(
soul). During the whole day, he thinks about body only, because he is bod
conscious. He is not aware of the self(soul) at all. Consider a driver w
knows about car only and does not know anything about him. That is- he
not aware of his own sense organs or does not know about drinking or tak
food to his stomach. He knows to use all his energy and organs to drive
car only. In such case, if the car becomes faulty, the driver is as good
dead(inactive) or handicapped.
[Consider a person who is not aware of his left hand. He will be us
his right hand only. His left hand will not be active. In any case, if his ri
hand gets tired or powerless, the person halts. This does not imply that
has no left hand. He has forgotten or not aware of his left hand. The pers
should be made aware about his left hand and gradually trained to use his l
hand. Similarly when the body becomes weak, mind fails to think (g
disinterest in) material things. Since he does not know about soul, he fails
create thoughts. It does not imply that there are only physical things in nator mind is made from food. .]
We all are similar to such drivers. We know only driving(thinki
about) the impure body(car).
{Impurity here relates to the
1)body created by lust,
2)Body that continuously emits bad smell(sweat),
3)Body that is trapped under many religions, Hindu, Muslim, etc,
4)Body that is always vulnerable to diseases}.
Being unaware of the soul, we do not know to think about the soul(s
realization), or the Supreme(God realization).
[Those who speak about God also do not know enough about it. Ma
relate human beings (physical personalities) as God. Eg: SriKrish
SriRama, SriLakshmi, SriNarayan, Jesus, etc. All of these have human fo
that is nothing but body.
8/8/2019 Package 01 Self Realization

Some say God has no name and form. Then how and what can mi
think!? So, when the body becomes weak, mind gets handicapped, it lo
interest in bodily things. So it cannot remember even Srikrishna, SriRam
Jesus, etc., because all of them are physical personalities].
A driver can leave(come out) of the car whenever he wants. But
we(soul) capable of forgetting our body whenever we desire? Suppose, if
were told- Today you should not remember monkey. Can we do this? Tmore we try to forget it, more it disturbs us!. Just see- My mind
totally(completely) mine. Still I cannot control it. How weak we are!
One may be able to control his organs for some time. Eg: If I decid
1)I should not become angry for next 2 hours, 2)Today I should never dr
my car beyond 40kmph. But it is not possible to control mind even for f
minutes(perhaps few seconds!). Everybody in this world is caught
ignorance and is a mental patient.
{{Hathayogis try to control mind by forcible control of body. [hatha=
force, not natural, not simple, not easy] They perform rigor
praanaayam(physical and breathing exercises). They cannot control body
easy practice (change in thinking). They concentrate their mind in some pa
of physical body itself! The reason is that they do not know form of soul
the Supreme at all! Except mortal, what do they know? Some concentrate
their breath. Air is just physical. Hence their yoga is not real (not spiritu
eternal). It is physical or mortal. Real yoga is the one in which mind
thinking real things (soul-the real self, and the Supreme- God).
One should always try to have relations with his superior if he wantsbe better. For example, a citizen should try to get Kings company. A stud
should bring himself in the company of a learned one, a good teacher. If
citizen brings himself strongly in the company of a beggar, then he is goi
to lose. Soul is higher than nature or body. So thinking (concentratin
material things or body made of mortal things is of NO USE! That is,
