In this talk, Swamiji says that it is the consciousness that has formulated our body, shaped our senses, imbued them with their respective powers and it is through these senses that the consciousness extends itself to become the infinite, endless world of variety.

The first access we have to the consciousness is through the mind. Once a seeker understands that mind is the fulcrum in his Sadhana, the mind has to sublimate desire, hatred and fear which cause a lot of torment and trouble.

How to access the mind? One has to take a mantra and start chanting it mentally. When one mentally chants a mantra, one is in the mind. After the mind arena, the seeker must progress to the intelligence arena where through a process of introspection he comes closer to the Self.
