BE STILL AND KNOW I AM GOD. AnUpanishadic statement, found in the BIBLE.
Be still. Jesus says. No movements- physical or mental. No thought should cross your mind. And KNOW-not THINK, is the key word.
Kill the mind. It covers up your understanding and confuses you in knowing things wrongly.
During saadhanaa stage, restrictions on physical movements are there. Once the mind is annihilated, no movements will disturb YOU, GOD in person !
How to lead life without a mind ? It is like a pilot putting controls under AUTO-PILOT. He rests and plane lands under difficult sitiuation with ease.
Man is provided with auto-pilot instrument and it does all the functions which he thinks his mind does. Science says main life-sustaining functions are involuntry .( breathing to begin with.) Man does not breathe as such . He cannot help breathing is the real fact. All his action likewise FORCED on him. First a feeling comes over him and he acts. EVEN A THOUGHT IS FORCED ON HIM.
NOTE: (20th june)
1. Senses are just windows collecting data from outside world on behalf of the mind. Eyes are mere cameras. Just like a spoon not aware b of the taste of the food , eyes know nothing of the sights seen. The mind decides on the quality and usefullness of theb sights and decides to delete it, store it or react. It directs KARMENDRIYAS to act.
Mind can concentrate on oneb sense and shut off all other senses. When you read a newspaper, you do not hear your wife calling you to breakfast table.When you see your sweetheart , nothing else is seen. Mother waiting for a cry from her child listens to no other sounds around.
If the mind shuts off all senses and concentratesv on itself, CALLED A SILENT MIND, hears OM.
