True
Power Requires A Purified Mind
Suggesting that our minds
needs to be purified, implies they are contaminated. They are. Our minds
are full of impure, negative, toxic, damaging thoughts: worry, jealousy,
hatred, anger, greed, fear, pride, resentment, vanity, prejudice,
coveting, ill will, arrogance, envy, self pity…. These are but a
handful of the pollutants that fill our minds. They are habitual and,
for most of us, in one form, or another, take up the larger part of our
inner space, time and energy. Ultimately, they are life diminishing,
they ebb away our true sense of self and rob us of the true potential of
our mind’s power.
When our minds are so
polluted, it is difficuilt to have clarity, to remain calm and be
‘in’ our power. We make poor choices, act rashly, feel miserable,
perpetuate our suffering and don’t actually have real control over our
lives. We are on a kind of autopilot, we are reactive not responsive and
being reactive is about a loss of control, a loss of power. When we are
operating in this way, we can never achieve true happiness or fulfilment.
We can only, at best, satisfy ourselves with temporary gratifications.
The only way we can truly actualise our true hearts desire, our true
essence, is if we consciously exercise the will to purify our minds
The purified mind is a
mind that is loving, benevolent, patient, compassionate, grateful,
joyous, peaceful. No thought can disturb it, it is equanimous,
discerning but never judging, it sees clearly and responds from a calm,
still place of power. Acquiring such a mind, is doubtless the hardest
thing a person can do, but it is also the most important thing a person
can do, because when one’s mind becomes purified one’s reality
changes and life becomes their oyster. Those with a purified mind are
their own Masters, and when one operates in this way, all surrounding
him or her senses it and responds accordingly. Like the stream of
polluting thoughts that does not stop flowing, the same is also true of
the opposite: exuding power returns more of the same. Like begets like.
