🔸 Yes, we can
by Atman Nityananda
Yes, we can gradually learn to master our senses and mind through sincere and right effort.
Yes, we can stop identifying with thoughts, emotions, selfish tendencies, the body, the ego, and sensory impressions.
Yes, we can choose the thoughts we want to nurture.
Yes, we can create and sustain the emotional state we desire.
Yes, we can dissolve lower emotions and selfish tendencies by applying various spiritual methods, such as the repetition of God’s name or prayer.
Yes, we can make the mind a conscious instrument, rather than remaining enslaved by the conditioned lower mind and ego.
Yes, we can transform the mind and elevate it to the state of pure sattva.
As the ego dissolves and the mind becomes purer and more sattvic, it naturally grows more harmonious, peaceful, serene, clear, and content. We begin to live moment by moment in the peace and bliss of the Self—our true nature, the Atman.
Of course, to realize this transformation, we must dedicate ourselves to systematic, sincere, and diligent practice. Patience, perseverance, faith, courage, determination, strong will, and a burning thirst for truth and liberation are essential.
