  • 00:07

    Maya and Jnana The nature of the mind is such that it can

  • 00:14

    generate as many as a hundred desires in the course of an hour.

  • 00:20

    What is the capacity of the body to fulfil those desires?

  • 00:24

    What is the time required for their fulfilment?

  • 00:27

    If one goes on piling up more and more desires without fulfilment, what will be the condition

  • 00:33

    of one's mind?

  • 00:35

    Will it not become weaker and weaker due to disappointment and failures?

  • 00:39

    Any desire, if it is to lead to happiness, must be in consonance with one's physical

  • 00:47

    harmony, the sentiments of society, and the law of Nature.

  • 00:52

    A sensible person should learn to restrict his desires to suit the capacity and harmony

  • 00:58

    of the physical body and mind.

  • 01:00

    Not only that, he should also respect the views of society while seeking fulfilment

  • 01:07

    of his desires.

  • 01:09

    Man is always a member of society.

  • 01:12

    Whatever he wants or needs comes from society, and what he produces also returns to the society.

  • 01:20

    Hence, every individual should think, act and enjoy in a manner that is agreeable to

  • 01:27

    society and conforms to the sentiments of society.

  • 01:32

    Otherwise the individual will certainly come to harm and suffer when he proceeds to fulfil

  • 01:38

    his desires.

  • 01:40

    The third angle he has to keep in view is the law of Nature.

  • 01:47

    If a desire happens to be in conflict with, or in contravention of, the law of Nature,

  • 01:54

    it cannot be fulfilled.

  • 01:57

    Persistence in such a desire can only spoil the life of the person.

  • 02:02

    Every manifestation, appearance or action in the universe is a part of Nature.

  • 02:09

    The natural and divine force, which is called Consciousness, starts in man from a limited

  • 02:16

    sphere and extends its dimension step by step, stage by stage, toward a further understanding

  • 02:25

    of its own existence and functions in the shape of the universe.

  • 02:30

    It finally merges with its fullness in the infinite state.

  • 02:35

    This is the nature of the mind.

  • 02:38

    The mind is the most peculiar and adorable phenomenon in the universe.

  • 02:44

    All the values in the universe are assessed only by the mind.

  • 02:48

    And, all the existence and functions of the universe are within the mind.

  • 02:54

    It can shrink its focus to the most minute size, and in no time expand to any vast dimension,

  • 03:02

    even up to the extent of the universe and beyond- even to the infinite state.

  • 03:10

    The functioning field of the mind is the universe.

  • 03:14

    The base of the mind is the soul.

  • 03:17

    The origin of the soul is the Almighty-the Infinite-God.

  • 03:21

    Therefore, the origin as well as the goal of the mind is The Infinite.

  • 03:29

    In the course of development of the understanding of the functions and beauties of the universe,

  • 03:34

    a diversion of the mind's activity is produced by the experiences of pleasure and pain sensations.

  • 03:43

    In such a condition, the soul, in its psychic extension as mind, forgets its existence,

  • 03:50

    greatness and its aim.

  • 03:53

    This stagnation of the soul embodied in man is called Maya (Sanskrit) or illusion.

  • 04:01

    When man develops the force of his mind and self-awareness, thereby achieving success

  • 04:06

    over this stagnation, he reaches the ultimate goal of the Infinite-the state of perfection

  • 04:13

    of the mind.

  • 04:16

    He leads his life in this light of perfection of realization.

  • 04:20

    This state is called Jnana (Sanskrit) or wisdom.

  • 04:24

    A man can enjoy material pleasure in the self-forgetful state or Maya as well as in the state of awareness

  • 04:33

    or Jnana.

  • 04:35

    When a person enjoys any commodity or facility with soul-consciousness, he gets both satisfaction

  • 04:43

    and psychic detachment from it.

  • 04:45

    On the other hand, when he enjoys the same commodity or facility in the state of illusion,

  • 04:52

    he gets attached to that object.

  • 04:56

    Whatever the activity of man, that activity gets registered as an imprint in four ways:

  • 05:01

    (1) In the limbs and senses; (2) In the brain cells; (3) As hereditary quality in seed cells;

  • 05:10

    and (4) In each and every ethereal particle of life-energy.

  • 05:13

    In the forgetful state, the soul succumbs frequently to emotions and errs repeatedly.

  • 05:24

    By the force of needs, habits and environmental conditions, the activities of the soul continue

  • 05:30

    on the same worn path because of old imprints.

  • 05:34

    So the attachment with worldly imprints becomes deeper and deeper, day by day.

  • 05:41

    These imprints of the activities of man, which lead to pain and misery, are not conducive

  • 05:47

    to the free journey of his soul, since they obstruct or delay its spiritual advancement.

  • 05:54

    All such imprints are called sins.
