I wrote this blog when I read an article in a Hindi magazine 15 years ago. After I read his article which was originally written in Hindi, I decided to translate it in English so that many people around the world will read it. My sincere gratitude to the author who wrote the article.
“TAPASA PRAPYATE SATVAM, SATVAT SAMPRAPYATE MANAHA”
“MANASA PRAPYATE HYATMA, HYATMAPATYA NIVARTATE”
Meaning: Purification of mind and limiting physical urges leads to acquisition of sublime truthfulness. Truthfulness leads to creation of depth in rational thinking. Profoundness in rational thinking follows rise in spirituality within. Enrichment in spirituality within, leads to awakening and enlightening of “Atma” or soul.
A thought originating from mind is just a thought. Pure and complete in its character. Some times restricting its region of influence to the basic needs may it be human body or that of any other creature. Frequently encompassing the whole universe like a guiding light as that of principles of “Geeta” established several centuries ago by “Vasudev Krishna”.
Every creature is blessed with conscious power which acts differently when it unites itself with soul and differently when it comes together with mind. A fluctuating thought seems to come from mind but a firm and determined thought always comes from soul. Mind has got natural power and ability to recognize positivity and negativity of thought. This power is called “conscious intelligence”.
A thought is just a distinct thought till it is singular in nature. Though singular when it is born in the mind, it expands and extends its domain of influence encompassing one’s unsatisfied needs and urges. Its enlargement and expansion greatly depends on perpetually altering situations and circumstances of life. It is only through continuous and sustained spiritual meditation one can detach emotions attached to it. It is only through divine contemplation one can improve and enhance power to detect and uncover these attached emotions to the thought which changes it character from thought to desire, urge, want, need and the rest.
Deep inside; every one of us can experience and feel the relation between our body, heart and mind. Behavior of our body greatly depends on our habits and attitudes. No sooner we perform any principled or unprincipled action in order to receive any tangible or intangible gain or benefit; desires that underlie these actions, come to dwell on our soul with every birth and rebirth transforming it from “Atman to Jivatma”. Eventually emotions and feelings that emerge from heart together with psyche that emerge from brain; which is also the seat of “Paarmatma or Paarbrahma” greatly influence working of the body. Like when our heart rejoices, it brightens up our face with blissfulness and darkens our face with obscurity when it is full of worries. It increases toxicity level of blood when we get enraged; diminishing the difference between right and morally wrong. Also when cupidity and greediness overtakes our mind, we tend to overlook the difference between ethical and unethical.
