Mental opinions which kindle cravings should be cut off.🔗

Before you get it, even if it is as small as mustard seeds, the mind will make it appear as a mountain... After you get it, even if it is a mountain, it will make it appear small as mustard seeds.

That is a foolish mind.

Those who are addicted to smoking, alcohol drugs will crave for it to the extent that they will think that there is no life without it. Till they get it, it will appear like a mountain.

The moment it is obtained, the craving will get shrunk.

What appeared like a mountain so far will now appear as small as mustard seeds.

This is one of the very basic qualities of the mind.

All the people are affected daily by this quality of the mind only.

Having a cup of tea, a sweet, tasty food, a small nap, a new dress, chatting with a friend or relative – Such aspects of life have kept man tied up.

All these things will appear to be interesting and joyful till they are got or done.

But, once you get them, immediately that interest, joy will disappear and it will become an ordinary one.

The difference between the amount of craving and the joy after getting it has always been the difference between the mountain and mustard.

Reason: The mental idea that creates the hurry before getting a desired thing vanishes once that is obtained.

This mental idea of creating the desire and the idea vanishing after the desire is fulfilled, is present in everybody.

It is a pity that man runs and dances just for the wrong mental notions.

Hereafter, be very careful during the times the desire takes control of you. Reason: They are the instigations of a wrong mental notion.

That which instigates must be cut away.

Go up to the place wherefrom the instigations come. As a side-effect of this going, you will learn the art of cutting away the instigations themselves.

Only after the instigations are cut off and gone, will the man begin to live his life for the first time.

Make the times of your being instigated as meditation times. You will begin to live your life as per your desire.
