Gems of Athma Jnana
Life creates bonds because of the thought that 'I am not Brahma'. Life becomes free from bonds by thinking that 'I am Brahma'. From the thought that 'I am brilliant or wealthy or sorrowful or skinny or unlucky or fair, the bondage happens. If karma is done in the thought that I am Brahma and without selfish imaginations, then there will not be any bondage. Whoever thinks that I am the consciousness that surpasses everything, he can overcome all bonds of worldly life. By proper learning of thatwa jnana, leave all feelings of sensual pleasures. Thoughts like my children, my wife, my wealth are merely a fallacy of mind. Do not become slave of mind. All these types of imagination come because of the play of vasana due to ignorance. Destroy vasana by spiritual wisdom. You are not the body! You are not the senses! You are not the mind! You are not the Budhi! You are the consciousness that is above all the those factors. You think that you are the body and you take all problems of body as yours. You are the soul. While you engage in karma, do not add colors to mind with raaga and dwesha. Always try to conquer mind. Without this no one cannot overcome samsara(worldly life) by any other hard tries. How to conquer mind? Live in the present and forget past and future. Do karma accordingly that comes by time to time. By fixing mind in the thought that this world is completely abounding in with Brahma, do not think about past and future. This way mind becomes matured and balanced. Do not allow mind to follow desires and imagination. Fix mind always in the truth. If this is possible then the mind can be considered as conquered.
Mind is the veil that obstructs experiencing the soul. While the senses engage in vishaya teach mind to discard various imaginations and to see Brahama in everything. Leave all thoughts of likes and dislikes. Leave all feelings of difference as myself and others. All are one; images of same truth.
