The Sadhana of the Mind and the Intelligence

Any spiritual practice must make its effect felt on the mind and intelligence. Do we have only an emotional mind? No, we also possess a rational intelligence, so the knowledge part of the sadhana cannot be avoided or postponed by anybody. The many-ness of the world must get overwhelmed by the intelligence’s knowledge orientation.

In this talk, Swamiji explains the sadhana performed at the level of the mind and the intelligence.

Slokas chanted in the track

दृष्टिं ज्ञानमयीं कृत्वा पश्येद्ब्रह्ममयं जगत् ।
सा दृष्टिः परमोदारा न नासाग्रावलोकिनी ॥
(Aparokshanubhutih 116)

साधुभि: पूज्यमानेऽस्मिन् पीड्यमानेऽपि दुर्जनै: ।
समभावो भवेद्यस्य स जीवन्मुक्त्तलक्षण: ॥
(Vivekachudamani 440)
