Mind can be known by Mind & Divinity can be known by Divinity
by an idea. In the process of satisfying our urges and the undue attraction towards the worldly things we have come far away from Reality and losing our balance by not being in consonance with the divine pursuit.
Mind is a very powerful instrument in human which creates wonders. Its capacities are exhibited in various forms and colours and results in deriving enormous satisfaction. This grants a sense of achievement and power too. Also complacency is experienced. Hearing to a good lecture, one acknowledges and associates it with the intellect of the individual. Good music appeals to a music lover likewise it may be the same in many of the cases. In day to day life we observe that a Doctor while treating a patient gives up in the end saying that it is God alone who can save the life of the patient. Therefore the intellectual aspect of the Mind comes to an end at one point of time.
Many times we safely conclude to say that we are happy when everything is in its place of our interest and feel miserable, unhappy, dejected, loosing hope on life etc when it is otherwise. The idea or the purpose of the Divine in creating us gets defeated every time we feel not happy, it is all the play of the mind. It should not be misconstrued that we trying to restrict the normal functioning of the mind while dealing with the worldly things but the knowledge gained due to the unassuming thought process of mind which gives us the Viveka of the purpose of our existence and this understanding restores us back to our true nature. Our purpose of existence is to be a pure and happy expression of the Divine. Contentment gives us happiness. One who is always in touch with the Reality feels contended with what is given to him as a gift of God. But the complex thinking in man never allows him to be so or behave so to be in tune with his original nature. Simplicity and naturalness is lost.
