If I can regulate my mind, if I can make my mind and heart sensitive
to my inner needs as well as the external needs
the family members, friends etc, then I can really lead a balanced life
I will not be hungry for more and more information.
People talk of air pollution, people talk of water pollution
people talk of so many types of pollution.
Information has also become pollution
Thoughts, we can say, thoughts have also become pollution.
I don't know how many of you are familiar with this terminology: ‘thought pollution’.
The root cause of everything is an unregulated mind.
I have also witnessed, I used to work after my graduation in Pharmacy
Some of the industrialists used to pour out their affluents directly into water borewells,
they wouldn't do any treatment also. They would go straight, away into the ground
So what used to happen, the water around Ankleshwar became like coca-cola water, undrinkable
Again, the root cause of all this financial gains, greed
If you make them drink that coca-cola water, they will be scared to drink it
But imagine an industrialist who meditates
will he or will his mind tolerate such creases in their minds and hearts?
You might wonder, “okay, I did this yesterday. I put some toxins into the groundwater”
After a month it continues. How long will you tolerate this nonsense in your
heart which is now exposed to spirituality? It will not tolerate it.
One day it will say, “It is better to close my industry than to make this water polluted.
So the conscientious heart, when we meditate regularly,
your heart becomes very susceptible to the right kind of a thing.
It will not tolerate any wrong things
Even before you argue, before you try to fight with somebody unnecessarily, you will think many times
Only when we lose this inner compass which is directed in an evolutionary way naturally,
when it changes this phase and moves towards an opposite direction that is not so evolutionary,
then you will feel hurt, you will say, “oh no, this is not for me.”
So in hindi we say, “ek sadhe, sab sadhe. Sab sadhe sab jaaye.”
Meaning, try to do something,
one thing in such a way that having solved that main problem, you have solved all other problems in life.
And that is only this mind.
If I can regulate my mind, if I can make my mind and heart sensitive
to my inner needs as well as the external needs
the family members, friends etc, then I can really lead a balanced life
I will not be hungry for more and more information.
I will be hungry for, of course, something that can help me to evolve faster
That doesn't mean that we are running away from work
that doesn't mean that we are running away from the business world.
Career is there in front of us, we have to fulfil our career, we have to
become extraordinary as far as career is concerned.
We should not forget that
But this material life,
life of making money etc has to be spiritualised so they will go together
We are not trying to lead a separate life, “this segment of my life will be spiritual
this segment of my life will be material, bhautik as they say.” No
then we will be failing in our purpose. We need to integrate both
Let spirituality touch our material existence so much that it ultimately consumes us, totally.
So even while I am working, cooking, playing games, or making love
there is spirituality all the way through.
So information overload also will be filtered out through such a mind.
So cultivating a mind that will repel everything else.
When you have a balanced mind, nothing in the world can affect you.
