Reorganise Your Mind

People increase their standard of living but not their standard of thinking. The best computer is the one between the ears. Understand the mind, transform the mind and transcend the mind — this is possible through the discipline of yoga. One goes on gathering impressions based on the sensory perception of seeing, touching, talking and, of course, thinking. The world that we create is often a collection of many such impressions. The great masters invite us to look into the fact that impressions are the highest food that we consume. But if these impressions are not digested, then they become a burden. To create an orderly digestive system must be our priority on the spiritual path. When we make impressions in the wrong centre, then no transformation will happen. If someone scolds you and you mechanically react with anger and frustration, then you start interpreting, mechanically. That impression comes in the domain of your mechanical centre. But when someone scolds you and you react through your magnetic centre, then a transformation of impressions will happen. You become more conscious and you will not react mechanically. Slowly, you realise that to react is to increase the hurt body, to react is to increase the toxic centre in you. Bring the experience in the light of the teaching of enlightened masters. This change itself sets the process of transformation or digestion of the impression. You have to start seeing things in a new way. A new mind of openness has to be created.
