The mind is a victim of the passions of the lower ego
by Atman Nityananda
As long as one does not understand the cause of suffering, freedom from it is impossible.
And the cause is not found in thoughts or in the rational mind, but in desire, craving, passion, and attachment (of the lower ego) to sensory pleasures and the numbness they induce in the mind.
A mind that is led by the lower ego’s desires for pleasure, power, recognition, and status is bound to malfunction, misunderstand, be unstable, restless, distracted, clouded, and in constant motion, lacking discernment, clarity, and light, and remain extroverted.
With such a mind, even sensory reality cannot be experienced as it is—let alone the ever-present peace, fullness, and bliss of the spiritual nature within.
The ‘secret’ to a plentiful life, a life of harmony, happiness and contentment is to have a sattvic mind free from desires and ego and to live in every moment in conscious contact with our true Self (Consciousness).
🌺 Peace, Love, Harmony
