To Do As the Mind Dictates…
Upon attaining Gnan (Knowledge of Self) from absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan, when bliss of the Self is experienced, it is understood that this worldly life is trap. Based on Gnan, the goal for rest of one’s life becomes decided, ‘I want to practice pure brahmacharya in this body & be an instrument in absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan's mission of salvation. After the firm resolve of practicing brahmacharya takes place, who weakens this resolve? There is illusory attachment towards sexuality & there is also the intent towards practicing brahmacharya. The mind is in fact contradictory. If the mind says something that is in accordance with one’s principle, then You can accept it; however, if it shows anything that is against the goal, then you should never go according to that. The mind is not to be beaten; rather, keys are given on how to artfully get the mind to do work and how to separate it through Gnan & settle it.
