(Mana ki Khatpat Kaise Mite?)
A question has come up that how to get rid of the restlessness (lack of peace, disturbances, agitation) in the mind.
It
is a very easy point, that the restlessness in
the mind, is known to us. Then the thing
that is known to us, the thing that is seen, is not our Self (swaroop).
I saw the building, then, did I become the building? I saw a stone,
then, did I become the stone? That which is seen is separate, and the
seer
is separate. There is no doubt about
this. He who has knowledge and awareness
of there being agitation and restlessness, that one is you. You are the
one to see the restlessness. Is there
any doubt about this? We see the
agitation and the agitation is the kind that is seen, then what is the
interference? We saw a stone, now if it
gets heated, then what difference does it make to us, and if it gets
cold, then what difference
does it make?
This resolve of the mind that may this restlessness,
this agitation go away, is the reason for this agitation; because it is due to this resolve that a
relationship continues with the disturbances.
Let there be no disturbances in
my mind, then be assured that there will most certainly be disturbances. Therefore server the relationship with the
mind. Really speaking, there is no relationship with the mind. It is only an assumed relationship. You have presumed the mind to be yours. The disturbances come and they go, resolves come and then they go away, but you
remain as-is, In this there is no doubt.
Then whether these go away or not,
you simply leave them. Do not
blend with it, do not become pleased or
displeased. Just
as when the sun beats down hard, and with that heat, the mind instinctively make
you shift to a shady spot. But do not criticize
the sunshine or feel pleased with the shade.
We are
neither to condemn anyone, nor praise anyone, this is very important for a
sadhak (spiritual aspirant).
The yogi who walks anyone of
the paths, Jnanayog, Karmayog or
Bhaktiyog, whatever situations that
comes his way, in that he remains pleased, and is not displeased, this is
everyone's duty. It is the duty of all the Yogis. For he who desires to realize the
Divinity, this is extremely essential.
However beautiful a thing is,
however ugly it is, however unfavorable or favorable a situation is,
in both these, he who does not
become pleased or displeased, he attains God.
And he who becomes pleased and displeased, he comes and goes in this world, in other
words, he is trapped in the cycle of birth and death. (to
