censuring others or in finding fault in the conduct of others. He will always praise others. He will
only see the good in others. That is the way to grow in concentration, Yoga and spirituality.
Mind is atomic according to the Indian school of logic; all-pervading according to the Raja
Yoga philosophy; and is of the same size as that of the body according to the Vedantic school.
Deep sleep is not a state of inactivity. In this state the causal body (Karana Sarira) functions
vigorously. The associated consciousness Prajna, is also present. The Jiva (individual soul) is
almost in close contact with the Absolute. Just as a thin layer of muslin veils the face of a lady and
renders it invisible to the eyes of her husband, so also a thin layer of ignorance separates the
individual soul and the Supreme Soul. Students of Vedanta study this state deeply. It has deep
philosophical significance. It gives the clue to trace the existence of the Atman. You rest in the
warm bosom of the Mother of the world, Rajesvari, who lovingly bestows upon you peace,

refreshing vigour and strength to face the ensuing battle of daily life. But for this incomparable love
and kindness of the merciful Mother during deep sleep, life would be well nigh impossible on this
physical plane, where so many miseries, diseases, cares, worries, anxieties and fears of all sorts
torture and torment you every moment. How miserable gloomy and depressed you feel, if you do
not enjoy sound sleep even for one night, if you happen to forgo your sleep for three or four hours by
attending a night s theatrical entertainment!
Great Yogins like Jnanadeva, Bhartrihari and Patanjali used to send and receive messages to
and from distant persons through mind-telepathy (mental radio) and thought-transference.
Telepathy was the first wireless telegraph and telephone service ever known to the world. Thought
travels with tremendous velocity through space. Thought moves. It has weight, shape, size, form
and colour. It is a dynamic force.
What is this world after all? It is nothing but the materialisation of the thoughtforms of
Hiranyagarbha or God. You have got waves of heat, and light and electricity in science. There are
also thought-waves in Yoga. Thought has tremendous power. Everybody is experiencing the power
of thought unconsciously to a greater or lesser degree. If you have a comprehensive understanding
of the working of thought-vibrations, if you know the technique of controlling the thoughts, if you
know the method of transmitting beneficial thoughts to others at a distance by forming clearcut,
well-defined powerful thought-waves, you can use this thought-power a thousandfold more
effectively. Thought works wonders. A wrong thought binds. A right thought liberates. Therefore
think rightly and attain freedom.
Dear child! Unfold the occult powers hidden within you by understanding and realising the
powers of the mind. Close your eyes. Slowly concentrate. You can see distant objects, hear distant
sounds, send messages to any part of, not only, this world but to other planets as well, heal persons
thousands of miles off from you, and move about to distant places in no time. Believe in the powers
of the mind. Interest, attention, will, faith and concentration will bring the desired fruit. Remember
that mind is born of the Atman through His Maya (illusory Power).
Cosmic mind is universal mind. Cosmic mind is the sum total of all individual minds.
Cosmic mind is Hiranyagarbha or Isvara or Karya Brahman. Man s mind is only a fragment of the
universal mind. Learn to merge your little mind in the Cosmic mind and get Omniscience and
experience Cosmic Consciousness.
Keep a balanced mind always. This is a very important thing. It is, no doubt, a difficult
practice, but you will have to do it, if you wish to succeed in concentration. Keeping the balance of
mind in pleasure and in pain, in heat and in cold, in gain and in loss, in success and in failure, in
praise and in censure, in respect and in disrespect, is real wisdom. This is very trying indeed, but if
you are able to do this, you are a mighty potentate on earth. You are fit to be adored. You are the
most wealthy man, though you are clad in loin-cloth, though you have nothing to eat. You are very
strong, though you have a dilapidated physical frame. Worldly people lose their balance even for
trifling things. They get irritated and lose their temper quickly. Energy is wasted when one loses his
temper. Those who want to develop balance of mind should develop discrimination and practice
celibacy and concentration. Those who waste their semen get irritated very frequently. Control and
