FIRST UNDERSTAND THE ‘MIND’

• The mind is a subtle machine that constantly generates thoughts.

• The nature of thoughts in a person’s mind reflects in the personality and physical appearance.

PRESENT CONDITION OF OUR MIND

• At present our mind is scattered.

• Just as, if the channel button of television set is spoilt, the channels keep changing sporadically. Similarly our mind keeps flipping from topic to topic.

• We can’t derive full benefit of its potential.

are able to utilize its potential. Visit: jkyog.org I facebook.com/Swami.Mukundananda
