Nonduality Highlights: Issue #3689, Sunday, October 18, 2009, Editor: Mark
The state of craving for anything blocks all deeper experience.
Nothing of value can happen to a mind, which knows exactly what
it wants. For nothing the mind can visualize and want is of much
value.

The chronic thoughts - the thoughts that you hold in your
awareness - have a tendancy to become your experience. What you
think about you bring about. What you think about becomes your
belief. What you believe becomes your perception and your
perception basically determines your experience. You can shape
your own destiny by the attitude that you take.
The real message is that when you begin to change internally,
your life begins to reflect that change. The secret is not about
materialism or consumerism - that is the beginning belief - it's
about growing spiritually and also knowing that there are laws of
the universe and that if you practice them, they will respond to
you.

A powerful interest which dominates a man's life polarizes his
mind, which then acts like a magnet and continually draws out
from his stored-up experience and also from new experiences
whatever is relevant and useful to the end in view. Deep interest
invigorates the mind, awakens its dormant powers and is the key
to super excellence, invention and discovery.
- Swami Krishnananda, from Facets of Spirituality, compiled
by S. Bhagyalakshmi
Be conscious of yourself, watch your mind, give it your full
attention. Don't look for quick results, there may be none within
your noticing. Unknown to you, your psyche will undergo a change,
there will be more clarity in your thinking and feeling, purity
in your behaviour. You need not aim at these - you will witness
the change all the same.

You live, you feel, you think. By giving attention to your
living, feeling and thinking, you free yourself from them and go
beyond them. Your personality dissolves and only the witness
remains. Then you go beyond the witness. Do not ask how it
happens. Just search within yourself.
