Paradox Of The Mind: By Alan Jacobs
“As Sri Bhagavan has made plain, through earnest persistent Self Enquiry and Surrender we come to realise as he says “The mind turned inwards is the Self; turned outwards, it becomes the ego and all the world” [4], and is in fact the Self!” Read on…great post, thank you Alan Jacobs and Harsh Luthar.
“Oh Mind, do not waste your life in roaming outside, pursuing wonders and wallowing in enjoyments. To know the Self through grace and to abide in this way firmly in the Heart is alone worthwhile.” [1]
This relevant quotation leads us to consider that what we term ‘mind’ can be conceived as a great paradox. From one standpoint it is a benevolent friend but from another it is a malicious enemy.
