Thought-control by Non-cooperation
Non-cooperate with the mind in its evil wanderings. Gradually the mind will come under
your control. Here is the practical method to non-cooperate with the mind. If the mind says: “I
must eat today sweetmeats,” say unto the mind: “I will not cooperate with you today. I will not
eat sweetmeats. I will eat only bread and Dal.” If the mind says: “I must go to cinema,” say unto
the mind: “I will attend the Satsanga of Swami Ramananda and hear his discourses on the
Upanishads.” If the mind says: “I must wear a silk shirt,” say unto the mind: “I will not wear in
future any silk clothing; I will wear only Khaddar.” This is the method to non-cooperate with the
mind. Non-cooperation with the mind is swimming against the sensual currents. The mind will
be thinned out and gradually it will become your obedient servant. You will gain mastery over
the mind.
The self-controlled man, moving among the objects with senses under restraint and free
from attraction and repulsion, attains to peace. The mind and the senses are naturally endowed
with the two currents of attraction and repulsion. Therefore, the mind and the senses like certain
objects and dislike certain other objects. But the disciplined man moves among the sense-objects
with a mind and senses free from attraction and repulsion, mastered by Self, and attains the peace
of the Eternal.
The disciplined self has a very strong will. Therefore, the senses and mind obey his will.
The disciplined self takes only those objects which are quite necessary for the maintenance of the
body without any love or hatred. He never takes those objects which are forbidden by the Sastras.
