The Unfathomable Magnitude and Potential of the Mind

Swamiji discusses the mind and reiterates the importance of introspection to understand its principles, processes, troubles and torments due to desires, hatred and other such emotions.

Mind is not just a flimsy, weak existence, it is potent powerful and resourceful. It produces millions of thoughts and also emotions. Thoughts are produced and dissolved over and over again. This twin process continues as long as the body remains.

Swamiji says that the mind is an expression of the soul. It has the power of creation and dissolution and thus it becomes virtually equal to God.

Mind is an expression of an infinitely complex entity and once we understand it, all torments subside. Swamiji urges us to rely upon the mind, support the mind, ask the mind to dissolve the agitations it has, and it will do so readily and willingly. The mind has the power and potential to assimilate anything. A seeker only needs to understand it.
