Thought for the day
as written at Prasanthi Nilayam today

What is the relationship between the Atma and the mind? How can we experience the bliss of the Atma? Bhagawan explains today with simple illustrations.
Man performs all activities due to sunlight. But there is no connection between the activities and the Sun. Similarly, the mind and intellect work due to the light of the Atma. Without the light of the Atma, the mind and intellect cannot function. Like the Sun, Atma has no attachment to duties and activities. Just as man gets sunlight from the Sun, he gets strength from the Atma. Atma is the witness. The results of good and bad deeds do not affect the Atma. When the water is flowing, the image of the Moon in it appears to move. But the Moon does not move. What is the cause of man’s troubles, sorrows and worries? Ego and attachment are the cause. Attachments, happiness, sadness - all of these arise in the mind. Mind and intellect are the instruments. It is through these instruments that we get the experience of everything. The instruments are the cause of our problems. If we remove these instruments, we can experience the bliss of the Atma.

Man is unable to go up spiritually because he allows himself to be weighed down by the heavy loads of his Mamakara and Ahamkara (possessiveness and ego). – BABA
