.Sankalpa is destroyed with the control of thoughts.Having firmly annihilated the external Sankalpa through the internal one and having destroyed theimpure mind through the pure one, rest firmly in your Atma-Jnana.When you are firmly established in the idea that the world is unreal, Vikshepa (throughnames and forms) and Sphurana of Sankalpa (thoughts) will slowly vanish.Repeat constantly theformula,  Brahma Satyam Jaganmithya Jivo Brahmaiva Naaparah (Brahman alone is real.World is unreal.Jiva is identical with Brahman).You will gain immense strength and peace of mindthrough the repetition.61SANKALPAHaving freed yourself from all desires for the visible objects before you and having madeyour impure mind firm and steady through your pure mind, eradicate all the Sanklpas that arise inthe mind.Now, this mind, which arises through Sankalpas, perishes through it alone like a flame offire which, though fanned by the wind, is yet extinguishable by the same.THE STATE OF NISSANKALPAWith the extinction of the base Sankalpas, there is the extinction of Avidya and its effect,mind.Sankalpa is pain.Nissankalpa is all bliss.Sit alone in a solitary room.Close the eyes.Watchthe mind and destroy the Vrittis one by one by continuous, energetic efforts.AsamprajnataSamadhi will ensue.If, with the extinction of the pain-producing Sankalpas, the mind also is destroyed, then willthe thick frost of Moha (delusion) affecting you from remote periods dissipate itself.Then, like anunobscured sky in the autumnal season, Brahman alone will shine resplendent, blissful,imperishable, non-dual, formless and without birth and death.When your thoughts, which are now dispersed, shall be collected together and you willremain in a state of repose, then the eternally happy Atman will shine forth as the reflection of thesun is seen in a clear surface of water.Peace is not in money, woman or eating.When the mindbecomes desireless and thoughtless, Atman shines and sheds forth eternal bliss and peace.Why doyou search in vain for happiness in objects outside? Search within for bliss in the subjective,Sat-Chit-Ananda Amrita Atman.Chapter 16THOUGHT CREATES THE WORLDTHOUGHT, THE ORIGIN OF EVERYTHINGEverything in the material universe about us had its origin first in thought.From this, it tookits form.Every castle, every statue, every painting, every piece of mechanism in short,everything had its birth, its origin, first in the mind of the one who formed it before it received itsmaterial expression or embodiment.Mind has got various preoccupations.When an artist begins to draw a picture on the canvas,he draws the picture out of the material preconceived by the mind.After all, the world is merely an idea or thought.Just as a seed begins to germinate at itsproper time and place, so also the seer (knower) appears as the visible through the Sankalpa of themind (the visible being no other than the seer itself).When the mind ceases to think, the worldvanishes and there is bliss indescribable.When the mind begins to think, immediately the worldreappears and there is suffering.62MIND ITS MYSTERIES AND CONTROL Cogito, ergo sum I think, therefore I am. This is Descartes s fundamental basis ofphilosophy.This is in accordance with Sri Sankara s statement that the Atman cannot be illusive;for he who would deny it, even in denying it, witnesses its reality.The universe is rendered visible by mind.But, it is a pity that nobody has seen the mind savea seer.When you seriously and unceasingly think over the nature of the mind, it is nothing.Whenyou begin to analyse mind, it is nothing.It dwindles to airy nothing.It is a bundle of thoughts andthe thought  I is the root of all thoughts.This  I is a false idea, a non-entity.When the root of allthoughts vanishes into nothing, where is the boasted mind?The first thought that arose in your mind was  Aham ,  I.The last thought or Vritti that willarise in the mind before it is absorbed in Brahman will be Brahmakara Vritti which is produced byyour feeling that you are Infinity.UNIVERSE, A CREATION OF THE COSMIC MINDThe universe is not mental creation of Jiva [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
