बुद्धि द्वारा मन पर शासन | Control the Mind through Intellect by Swami Mukundananda

Art of Mind Management Part 6
Our humanness comes from the ability to think and make informed decisions (vivek). The Kathopanishad states, “Use the intellect (buddhi) to control the mind, use the mind to control the senses, and cross over the ocean of Maya.”

The intellect makes the decision – it determines what we do or don’t do. The mind harbors feelings of love, hate, anger, greed, jealousy, etc. and all desires. There is usually an ongoing battle between the mind and the intellect.

We all desire happiness and decide to pursue it based on the knowledge we have. If the intellect believes that our happiness lies in acquiring a bigger house, then that becomes the dream we pursue. The day the intellect determines that material happiness is not the happiness our soul seeks, and our true happiness lies in loving God, our life will turn around. We will develop detachment from the material world and attachment to God.

“Once the intellect makes a firm decision, it controls the mind,” explains Swami Mukundananda. Our ability to make informed decisions is what makes us unique among the different species. We fall to animalistic levels when we lose the ability to think. To learn how we can leverage this relationship between the intellect and mind for our benefit, watch this inspirational and informative video clip.
