Techniques of mind-management are great, but will-power is insufficient to implement them. Through devotion, we enhance our spiritual power.
मन को सुव्यवस्थित करने के उपाय तो बहुत असरकारक हैं, परन्तु उनको जीवन में लाने के लिए संकल्प-शक्ति अपर्याप्त है | भक्ति के द्वारा हम अपनी आध्यात्मिक-शक्ति सुविकसित कर सकते हैं |
Very powerful explanation on Mind Management. Swamiji is explaining that strong will-power and self discipline are needed to control the thought process in right direction. And the only way we can intensify and deepen our capacities is by the regular practice of devotion. To increase the spiritual power, we need to perform Bhakti yoga

ReplyDeleteLast year, i came across a sutra in PYS 1.23, i couldn't quite correlate that with the summary of the scripture. Swamiji, this quote of yours has cleared all intellectual conflicts and doubt(s) in my mind. The philosophy of Satsang is getting clear to me now!

Very true! In the Bhagavad Geeta , Arjuna tells Lord Krishna that subduing the mind is harder than controlling the wind. The easiest way to control our mind is to engage in devotion as so rightfully quoted by Swami Mukundananda.
