Mind will propose a Balance between 'Using the Mind' and 'Not using the Mind
The mind falsely claims we need it for practical life, yet Satsang and the universe already run from Heart intelligence, proving life can be lived from that source.
No, no. If I believe a thought that I need to have a direcHon, that can lead to...when I kind of connect in with this idea of I need to know something, or I need to do something, then a bit of panic, a kind of tension comes up. But only if I connect in with that.
Okay, let's go a bit slower. Empty of this conceptual direcHon about what we should do or not do, the mind will propose that this is an unintelligent state, and therefore then we need to find some balance between using the mind and not using the mind. That's the proposal that will come from the mind. It will say, but without me, you can't run this life, you need it for 'pracHcal' reasons. Or it will say that Yes, yes, all of this is fine for spirituality or the discovery of the Truth, but you can't run your life like this. And I want to ask you then, that if the sharing of Satsang can happen from this Heart knowledge, then why can't the rest of your life be also run from that? And all that we see around us, the whole funcHoning of this universe, it can be run with this intelligence of the Heart. Then why is it that running our life is a problem?
Key Teachings
- The mind creates the illusion that being without conceptual direction is unintelligent, proposing we need balance between using and not using the mind
- The mind argues it is necessary for 'practical' life matters, but this is just another proposal
- If Satsang and the entire universe function from Heart intelligence, life can also be run from that same source - there is no separation between spiritual and practical
