How can we leverage the monkey mind and keep it pure and make it an effective instrument in our spiritual journey of life?


Rain water is pure. When you place a vessel while it is raining, you can collect pure water. It is like distilled water. By drinking that water, you will not be troubled by any ailment. When the same water is mixed up with other substances, it gets polluted. In the same manner, the mind is always pure. It gets polluted by desires. Hence, do not pollute your mind by cultivating desires. When a desire arises in your mind, brush it aside to keep your mind free from pollution. You read your text books and acquire knowledge; similarly, it is your duty to keep your mind always pure and free from pollution. This is most important learning you must acquire today.
