GURUNATHAR’S DIVINE MESSAGE—ASHWINI POOJA-12-02-2008
I felt a clarification was necessary. Though it seems an ordinary question, you need to give it deep thought. When we begin our search for God, is it not the body we first need to control? The answer is easy. Yes, it is the body and your senses you first need to control. The pleasures perceived through the sense of taste, sight, hearing, touch must be kept within bounds. What can help you in this? Your mind is what can help you. You must control your mind completely and consistently.
Though we know that something is not good to eat, we eat it and suffer the consequence. A person suffering from excess fat, knows that fatty food is harmful. If his mind were strong, this would not happen. To achieve this state, the mind has to be strengthened, made consistent and brought within control. This is the answer. If the mind is brought within our control, the body will also be brought under control.
