Passage 3

In English

The mind is an adroit substance. Its actions are strange. It will be playing a dual role. It has no form of its own. It assumes the form of the object in which it is present. The mind is responsible for happiness and sorrow; good and bad and positive and negative attitudes. Hence, it is the foremost duty of a human being to recognise the nature of the mind. The mind is like the water that flows through a canal. Just like the water, the mind also assumes the forms of the objects it contemplates upon.
