How can one be unmindful of the mind from where originates pain, and which resolves and remembers?



How can one be unmindful of the mind from where originates pain, and which resolves and remembers?

If you want to avoid delusion, be attentive and eliminate the sense of ego or ‘i’ from your personality. Think that the whole universe belongs to you. ‘I’, ‘you’, ‘he’ are just referral words and are interchangeable, depending on the subject and the object. Focus, instead on the action or verb.

The purpose of the Bhagwad Gita is to enrich and enlighten you about the complexity of the duality of the mind on the one hand, and the complexity of the character and behaviour on the other. The mind is the source of all actions and reactions so you should be attentive. How can one be unmindful of the mind from where originates pain, and which resolves and remembers? If you are not ‘mindful’, moha or delusion will eventually result.

A few months ago, there was an incident in which two brothers fought and reportedly killed each other, very similar to the rivalry of the siblings in the Mahabharata. One brother would have never killed another if he was ‘attentive’ and had thought of the magnitude of his actions. These stories always have some parallel in real life.

Om Namah Shivay.
