Kindle Notes & Highlights
Mind is a ‘thought flow’. The more the flood of the thoughts gushes through us, the more uncontrollable becomes the mind. So all factors that contribute to the quietening of the mind are to be cultivated and all sources from which mind gets disturbed are to be rejected and eliminated.
When the intellect has thus reached a state of supreme serenity, if the seeker can hold his mind in a sense of breathless expectation, alert and vigilant, ready to experience a spontaneous ‘awakening’, then the individual is at the highest state of meditative equipoise. This state of utter balance within and total oblivion of the outer happenings, is indicated here by the term ‘meditate’ (paribhāvaya).
The Man of Realisation can only act. He will not be ever found to react.
The Man of Perfection perceives the world without rejecting or accepting it and, in fact, he sees things as they are and not as interpreted by his own vāsanās.
