The Mind: the Conscious and the Unconscious
They live lives fraught with contradictions. They yearn
to find something without knowing what it is.
A tension-free mind is one that can function positively
in spite of a contradiction. People work, but find no job
satisfaction. They earn money but experience no inner
satisfaction. They live by the formula: ‘Enjoy life!’ But
they don’t know what life is or what real enjoyment is.
It is a paradoxical situation. Everyone is living in this
state of self-contradiction.
This is a self-created problem. When the Creator has
given you a mind and made you free to use your mind,
you should make use of this opportunity. You have to
activate your thinking capacity. You have to discover the
reality. You have to read what is hidden in nature in an
unwritten form. This is the only way to extract yourself
from this psychological chaos. The consciousness
of truth is interwoven in your nature; it is very easy,
therefore, to discover the truth. The only condition is
to shun distraction, to follow the well-known principle
of simple living and high thinking. If you want to save
yourself from going astray, activate your thinking faculty.
Think, think and think! You will surely reach the gates
of truth.
