Mind – Intellect – Ego — by Sant Kirpal Singh

 
 

 
 
The mind by itself is not conscious. It is the consciousness of the soul that the mind reflects. Anyone whose soul is under the mind’s influence and control becomes an image of the mind, for he forgets his true self. We call this ego or I-hood for one thinks, “I am everything”. God plus mind is man and man minus mind is God.

In the temple of God (the body), the mind drags us downward, away from the truth. It is because of the mind that we cannot partake of that which is inside us. It drags us down like a weight of iron. In turn, the senses are dragging the mind, and the pleasures of the world are dragging the senses. If the attention withdraws from outer environments, leave the senses and calms the mind, then only does it realize that it is soul. Our mind is the barrier between soul and God.
 
 

On the level of the soul

We can see the world:
Physically, Chemically, Biochemically, morphologically
Matematically, Geometrically, Philosophically,
Quantum-Mechanically, Astronomically, Theologically…
Physically, Historically, Theoretically etc.
But everything is only one point of view
Interwoven with our perceiving senses

Let us see the world from within
Spiritually, metaphysically
On the level of the soul, beyond senses
Then we are free from all words
Free from duality and questions
For all questions and answers
Are contained in Oneness…

Rising above body-consciousness… – Quote by Sant Kirpal Singh

 

 
A realized man is one who has already solved the mystery of this life. He can give you a demonstration about how to rise above body-consciousness and how to silence the senses, mind, and intellect. When these sensory powers are put to rest, the soul is able to rise up and with the grace of the Guru, she gets united with the Over-Soul. If you recognize yourselves, your entire angle will change as well as your attitude to life, you then will recognize who your lifelong comrade really is and who controls the machine of the body – the same power that controls the entire creation.

Sant Kirpal Singh Ji

 
 

Impotent Consciousness

We think, feel corporeally
The heart of the body beats
But not of the soul

We see, hear corporeally
Attached to the forms
Bound to external noise

We are in the grip of the senses
With impotent consciousness
Playing the game of the world

Seeking truth on the outside
However, it is already there – within…

Food of our Senses

 
 

 
 

People are equipped with antennas
These are oriented to the outside
They connect to objects
Suction of information

We connect in seeing
In hearing and feeling
In tasting and touching
Ready to eat information

Millions of pieces of information flow
Want to be processed, digested
They land in the catch basin of our mind
Influence our thinking

Splitting, analysis takes place
Memories of good and bad
What is repeated, what is avoided
Data streams that move us

Senses control the mind
Garnishing it with information
The mind in turn controls us
Shackles us with habits and attachments

Do we have an antenna
That leads us inside?
