MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL :6.4.2.





Chapter 6. THE THREE GUNAS  :


4. IMPORTANCE OF SATTVA GUNA-2.


It deludes all.

It may pretend to do Vichara also.

But, when it comes to actual practice, it will do nothing.

If there is a serious determination in you to concentrate and, if you put it into actual practice for months steadily and, if the longing for Darshana of God or Self-realisation becomes keen and acute, then alone think that all these kinds of thoughts proceed from your Sattvic Buddhi only.



All Sadhanas aim at the development of Sattva Guna and the attainment of pure, irresistible Will.

This will bring about Avidya Nivritti (removal of ignorance) and Paramananda-Prapti (Sat-Chit-Ananda state).

Increase of Sattva Guna and pure, strong, determined Will pave a long way in achieving God-realisation.

In the world also, there are persons with a few Sattvic virtues such as patience, generosity, forgiveness, etc.

But, a spiritual aspirant tries to develop the mind as a whole, to acquire all Sattvic virtues.
