Atma, Body & Mind
This is your atman, mind, body. The moment you get the peer pressure, you start comparing yourself with others. Means, you are in the mind level. You identify yourself with your mind. The moment you identify yourself with this mind, you start comparing yourself with other minds, with other bodies. So you, your pressure for example: you perform 10 hours per day, they perform 20 hours per day, you get the pressure, you get the pressure.
The moment you drop, you escape, you reach the source of energy and you start performing 24 hours plus something, 24 hours plus something. And you create the pressure to them, which they can never come. They can never keep up. Simple key - drop. But as long as you keep the pressure, you will be only in the mind; because the mind is created by these pressures. By this 7 items. What? That a, the fantasies, and imagination, fear, and these are all the things which creates mind. See, it is just a boundaryless whole planet earth. The, there's, the whole planet earth is there which creates your house. Four walls, four walls, the four walls are this six problems, seven problems.
Fantasy becomes one wall for your being, fear becomes the other wall. Worrying becomes the third wall, then the attention need from others, recognition, name and fame becomes the fourth wall. The comparison becomes the fifth wall. Ego becomes the, to prove yourself as something superior becomes the sixth wall and deep discontentment - seventh wall. Over.
That is what creates your boundary. If you break this walls, the whole world is yours. You are the owner of the whole world. You are atman. When you create these boundaries, 7 walls, [Swamiji draws on the board] what happens? You are already in cage, in cage. So just erase these walls, you will express such a tremendous energy. The moment you put this cage, you are no more atman you are just become mind.
Participant: (not audible)The mind is a calculating trouble.”
SPH: Whole thing, mind does the whole game. Actually one side mind gives you the inspiration, peer pressure, other side it drains you. Simply, the peer pressure drains you and the mind just gives desires and takes away the energy to enjoy. If you drop the desire, you will have the energy to enjoy. But life is paradox, it’s just paradox. So, understand, just be little more intelligent.
