Quieten the mind, drop your worldly desires, your imaginary attachments and your sense of ownership.
Keep your thoughts focused steadily on the Paramatha, and listen with all your concentration. All the guidance required will be provided by the Master Charioteer of the Mind.
The Puranas explain the methods of restraining the wayward mind and to fix it, in the receiving mode, on the primary source of all knowledge - Sri Krishna Paramathma.
ACCORDING TO THE PARAMATHMA, THE ONLY OBJECTIVE OF EVOLUTION OF THE INTELLECT IS TO TRANSCEND THE LIMITATIONS OF ITS PHYSICAL PLACE OF BIRTH. |
THE PARAMATHMA MAKES IT CLEAR THAT EVOLUTION IS A STATE OF MIND IN WHICH ALL THE ILLUSIONS THAT WERE NECESSARY FOR THE CREATION OF THE MIND ARE DROPPED. |
WHEN THE MIND IS CLEARED OFF ITS ILLUSIONS, ITS HIDDEN POWERS ARE UNLOCKED AND LIBERATED FROM THE SHELL OF IGNORANCE WITH WHICH IT IS BORN. |
EVOLUTION CANNOT OCCUR, UNLESS THE MIND LEARNS TO VIEW OBJECTS, EVENTS AND PEOPLE IN THE CORRECT PERSPECTIVE, AS BEINGS AND OCCURANCES THAT ARE NOT DIFFERENT FROM THE SELF. |
THE PARAMATHA IS CATEGORICAL THAT THE ONLY WAY TO EVOLUTION IS THROUGH THE PATH OF REALIZATION OF THE TRUTH (ABOUT ITSELF). |
EVOLUTION NEVER STOPS. IT IS A CONTINUING PROCESS. |
IN NATURE'S SYSTEMS, ONE CANNOT MOVE TO STEP 2 WITHOUT PASSING SUCCESSFULLY THROUGH STEP 1. |
THE REQUIRED TRANSFORMATION OF THE MIND SHOULD OCCUR. OTHERWISE LIFE IS REPEATED THROUGH REBIRTH. |
THE INTELLECT IS BORN WITH CERTAIN CAPABILITIES, GROWS OUT OF THEM, AND IS READY FOR THE NEXT LEVEL. |
THE PARAMATHMA PROVIDES EXTENSIVE GUIDANCE IN THE PURANAS, PARTICULARLY IN THE BHAGAVATH GITA AND SRIMAD BHAGAVATHAM AS TO THE STEPS THAT MUST BE TAKEN TO DISCARD THE BIRTH SHELL OF THE INTELLECT, NURTURE ITS GROWTH AND FINALLY TO ENABLE IT TO EMERGE OUT OF THE DARKNESS OF IGNORANCE. |
THE MIND AND ITS THOUGHTS ARE CREATIONS OF THE JIVA ATMA. |
THE JIVA ATMA SUBJECTS THE MIND TO THE TEST OF THE EXTERNAL WORLD. IN THE PROCESS OF THIS TESTING, THE MIND LEARNS TO USE THE EXTERNAL WORLD AS A TEACHING TOOL, LEARNS THAT THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF ITS JOURNEY FROM TRANSIENCE TO PERMENANCE. |
In a nutshell, evolution is the process by which the intellect transforms itself to become one with the Jiva Atma. When the Jiva Atma consciously distances itself from identification with the perceived world, it becomes one with the Paramathma. |
So the Puranas want to solve problems and evolve the human being to the next level by showing the individual the means to tap into his/her inborn ability to see the roots of his/her own thoughts and to develop the capability to incorporate them with the correct characteristics. |
Consequently, in considering methods of evolution of the mind, the Puranas do not consider the use of external sources and means such as drugs. The evolutionary process is considered possible only through self control, learning and awareness. More specifically, the Puranas consider only the route of turning the mind inward onto itself. |
THE REALITIES ACCORDING TO THE PARAMATHMA AND THE PURANAS ARE; EXTERNALLY PERCEIVED WORLD IS A REFLECTION/MANIFESTATION OF THE INNER SELF. ITS ONLY PURPOSE IS TO TEACH THE SELF ABOUT ITSELF. THE ONLY WAY TO INFLUENCE THE EXTERNAL WORLD IS BY WORKING ON AND ALIGNING OUR INNER THOUGHT PROCESS TOWARDS WHAT WE ARE REALLY SEEKING, WHICH IS INNER PEACE. |
The Puranas view the thought process as a self contained unit that can mould itself into any shape that it chooses, provided adequate knowledge of the self is acquired and adequate effort is put in. Until it is moulded by dharmic forces into the correct shape, it cannot escape the continuing cycle of births and deaths. |
