How do we purify and soften our mind ? A pure, soft mind is a gateway to divine living. Thinking positive isn't enough. It is essential to think divine. Only raising ourselves from the level of human thinking to divine thinking can soften and purify the mind. This can be done as the seer's suggest by reviewing the working of our mind at least three times a day,-- was my mind assertive or calm ? Did my words and actions hurt or bring joy to people ? Because, remember an object that slips out of our hand can be recovered, but an inappropriate word that slips out of our tongue cannot be undone. Self-review will cleanse our mind of all the mental dirt. Ideas and inspiration flash freely in a pure mind to transform information to knowledge. Knowledge can be defined simply as the idea of how to put information to use for the welfare of many in the form of an action.
For this the wise have prescribed three basic steps : (1) Allow others the freedom to be as they are, without imposing your mindset of thoughts and ideas. (2) Have faith and belief that GOD is in you. (3) Spend some time quietly, alone, everyday thinking about your Inner Self and chanting the name of God. This way the mind that seeks information can be changed into a mind meant for the transformation of our very life from human to Divine.
(friends, is the priscription hard & tough to follow ? what do you think ? )
