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.
