Website design By BotEap.comLet’s explore today if the unconscious mind, also called the dark night of the soul, belongs to the physical brain, or is something of the universal mind, the higher mind.

Website design By BotEap.comMan is divided into body (physiology) and mind (psychology). The brain is part of the body, and the mind, of psychology. Both belong to a deeper and higher consciousness, a universal consciousness. The mind is the bridge between this universal and individual consciousness, the bridge between the soul and the body.

Website design By BotEap.comWhen the body dies, the mind continues as a wavelength of memories with the conscious soul. The soul, when it allows itself to be tyrannized by the appearances of Nature, the mind, misses itself and goes around in a cycle of births and deaths of the bodies. Entering new bodies, he collects more experiences, sufferings, joys. But slowly, slowly, when he repeats the same pain, misery, agony, it becomes habitual and he cannot go back to the possession of his blissful state of his impersonal and unborn self-existence.

Website design By BotEap.comUntil the mind dies, it remains the master; he does not accept being a slave. The moment one’s innermost self affirms, that very affirmation becomes the death of the mind. Therefore, meditation is defined as no-mind.

Website design By BotEap.comMahaveera has given a very scientific way of going inside and arriving at this statement. He calls it Swadhyaya, self-study, or mind as the object of study: the mind studying the mind. If someone abuses you, then two types of waves arise. One, directed at the man who has abused and the other, directed at the self where the anger has arisen. If this study is oriented towards others, then one begins to define the external cause, the object of his anger. The inner study of the mind, the subjective aspect, remains intact.

Website design By BotEap.comJust by witnessing oneself, anger, lust, greed, jealousy, etc., start evaporating. But it is a very difficult penance (Tapa) to observe because consumed by anger, observation can never become a matter of subjective study. This is exactly how we are thrown out of our center, activated by the mind. However, if we can remain aware and not let ourselves be overcome by anger, we will move closer to the center. Reaching the center of mind is also the state of no-mind.

Website design By BotEap.comIt does not mean that the mind is not there, it simply means that through awareness, by remaining aware, the domain of the mind is no longer there. It can still be used as a vehicle, like a flute, but the song is not from the flute. And the flute cannot sing alone: ​​the flute is just a passage; its an instrument.

Website design By BotEap.comOne of the most treasured books of the Hindus, Srimad Bagavad-Gita, literally means the song of the Divine. From the very title it means that the words are not used by the mind, but by someone who has no mind. Through Krishna, divinity speaks.
