THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
How to destroy the mind? It is easy once you know what it is. The mind is
stuffed with desire, similar to a football filled with air. Puncture it and it
will not move from place to place. In a square field filled with water from an
irrigation canal, water appears in the form of a square. If the field is
circular or triangular, then the sheet of water will match the geometric shape.
The mind too takes on the form of one’s desires. Take another example - the
mind is like a piece of cloth, the warp and woof being the yarn of desire. The
texture, the colour, the durability, the feel, and the shine of the cloth will
depend upon the desire that constitutes the warp and the woof. Remove the yarn
strand by strand, and the cloth automatically disappears. This is the technique
of destroying the mind (Mano Nasanam). A wise person will wipe out all traces
of the mind. (Divine Discourse, Oct 16, 1964)
