Subject: A disciplined mind

A disciplined mind is a dull mind. It is coerced and compelled. It does not understand. It is in conflict, confusion and conning. The word �discipline� comes from the word �disciple�. A disciple is one who learns, and for learning there must be a lot of un-learning, deconditioning. Learning comes from swift perceptions and not from slow thinking. Thinking emanates from dead concepts.

Thought is death and �no-thought� is dance.
Thought is idiotic, �no-thought� is intelligence.
Thought is analysis, �no-thought� is awareness.
Thought is logic, �no-thought� is love.
Thought is the measure, �no-thought� is the meaning.
Thought is reason, �no-thought� is righteousness.
Thought is introspection, �no-thought� is insight.
Thought is knowledge, �no-thought� is wisdom.
Thought is cloud, �no-thought� is clear sky.
Thought is depression, �no-thought� is delight.
Thought is reaction, �no-thought� is realisation.
Thought is only validity, �no-thought� is veracity.
Thought is devil, �no-thought� is divine.
Thought is sensuality, �no-thought� is sensory perceptions.
Thought is dream and �no-thought� is the drum of Shiva (Damaru).

Kriya Yoga liberates us from the activities of thought and opens the door to Eternity. Kriya Yoga, a spiritual journey and not a stale judgement, needs deep understanding, tremendous courage and Himalayan patience.

Shibendu Lahiri
