MIND : ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL : 10-4.3.


Chapter-10. SUDDHA MANAS AND ASUDDHA MANAS-4.

4. SATTVIC MIND NEEDED FOR ATMA-VICHARA-3.

“Manasaiva-anudrashtavyam” is the utterance of the Srutis.

Brahman is to be seen by the mind.

Here ‘mind’ means the Suddha Manas (pure mind).

Brahman can be seen by a mind which is equipped with the four means of salvation; which is rendered subtle and pure by the practice of Sama, Dama, Yama and Niyama; which is furnished with the sacred instructions of a qualified Guru and which does Sravana (hearing), Manana (reflection) and Nididhyasana (constant musing).

Should the pure mind concentrate itself for some time through a study of Jnana Sastras, association with the wise and an uninterrupted practice of meditation, then in such persons developing Jnana, a divine vision will dawn in which there will be a direct cognition of the one Reality.

5. SLAY THE IMPURE MIND
