Passage 11

In English

Mind can move with an unimaginable speed, whereas the physical body moves very slowly. Mind is present inside as well as outside the body. It is not visible because it is most subtle. Air cannot be seen, but it is perceptible by touch. Its touch pleases the mind. Mind is capable of associating with the body and air as well. Mind can travel beyond air and can surpass all obstacles. As soon as a city comes into the mind, the mind reaches the city instantly. You say, ‘my mind is not present here.’ In this case, the body becomes a mere scene; the mind is the seer. Having understood the importance of the role of the mind in life’s trail here and hereafter, one should make a thorough study of its structure, capabilities, limitations as well as its machinations. It is said, (mind is the cause of bondage and liberation of man). Mind can delude as well as enlighten man. The mind, which is pure in its pristine form, is being polluted by man due to his association with trivia.
