Total Thoughts – Monday, Nov 12, 2009 - Control of the Mind

Control of Mind (Tattva Bodha page 16 - 17)
  • Boredom is a choice - we never ever have to be afflicted by boredom if we develop an interest in all we do
  • We should strive to do what we value and value what we do - do we practice either
  • By discovering what we are passionate about all negative afflictions like boredom, lack of concentration, restlessness, etc. fade away - to know what we are passionate about requires us to know who we are first
  • The projecting mind which causes us to suffer only exists in the past and future - by focusing on the present, only the perceiving mind remains empowering us to excel in any / all fields
  • A disciple is one who is ready for discipline - shama is discipline of the mind
