De-condition Your Mind, Introspect

is bound to live by one’s own suppositions. De-conditioning
purifies the mind. De-conditioning makes each human being
aware of the creation plan of God, of the laws of nature and of
the external realities that have remained hidden from one’s mind
because of conditioning.
It is this intellectual process that guarantees right thinking,
right action and right planning in this world. Without de-
conditioning our minds, we are unable to understand the truth
beyond our mental ambit. We are not able to comprehend the
realities exterior to the human mind.

Without undergoing the process of de-conditioning,
one is bound to live by one’s own suppositions. De-
conditioning purifies the mind.

Man is born in a world that is not of his own creation. The
world was created by God and it is God who has determined
the laws of this world. Man has no option but to discover this
divine law and follow it with complete sincerity. And through
de-conditioning, one enables oneself to carry on this process. As
man cannot create a world of his own, he must follow the laws of
the Creator of this world. This is a prime requirement for every
man and woman.
It is not a question of coercion: in reality, it is a matter of right
guidance for the person who is trying to know on his own what is
unknowable. Only the Creator can know what is good and what
is bad, what is right and what is wrong. So one should submit
to the divine will in all humility and sincerity. It is in one’s best
interests to follow this path. One always thinks according to
one’s mindset, and one’s actions are but the expression of one’s
mindset. If the mindset is right, one’s actions will be right, but
if the mindset is wrong, one’s actions will also be wrong. So it is
essential for every man and woman to de-condition his or her
