Mind is a power born of the soul. It is through mind that the Lord manifests Himself as the differentiated universe with heterogeneous objects. Mind is merely a bundle of thoughts. Of all thoughts the thought ‘I’ is the root. Therefore, mind is only the thought ‘I’. Mind is nothing but a collection of Samskaras or impressions. It is nothing but a bundle of habits. It is nothing but a collection of desires arising from contact with different objects. It is also a collection of feelings aroused by worldly botherations.
It is collection of ideas gathered from different objects. Now these desires, ideas and feelings constantly change. Some of the old desires are constantly departing from their storehouse of the mind, and new ones are replacing them. In the waking state, the seat of the mind is the brain; in the dreaming state the seat of the mind is the cerebellum; in the deep sleep state it rests in the heart. Mind always attaches itself to something objective. It cannot stand by itself. It is only the mind that asserts itself as ‘I’ in this body.
The things that we conscious all round us are only mind in form or substance. ‘Manomatram Jagat -Manah Kalpitam Jagat.’ Mind creates. Mind destroys. The occult phenomena that take place in the mental world are all based on scientific laws. Occultists and Raja Yogins should have a comprehensive, intelligent understanding of these laws. Then only will they be able to control the psychic forces easily. Practice of telepathy, thought-reading, hypnotism, mesmerism, distant healing, psychic healing, etc., clearly prove that mind exists and that a higher developed mind can influence and bring under control the lower minds.
From the automatic writing and the experiences of a hypnotised person, we can clearly conclude from evidence and reasoning rather than from explicit statements the existence of subconscious mind which operates throughout the twenty-four hours. If an idea is planted in the mind, it grows at night through the operation of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind never takes any rest. It works vigorously throughout the twenty-four hours. Those who know how to manipulate this subconscious mind can turn out tremendous mental work. All geniuses have control over the subconscious mind.
You must understand the ways of extracting work from the subconscious mind. Subconscious mind is a wonderful underground mental factory. Mind is the greatest force on this earth. He who has controlled his mind is full of powers. He can bring all minds under his influence. All diseases can be cured by psychic healing. One is struck with awe and wonder at the marvellous and mysterious powers of the mind of a man. The source or home or support of this mysterious mind is God or Atman.
Any action that is done by the physical body is the outcome of a preconceived idea. The mind thinks, plans and schemes at first. Then the action manifests itself.
