The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human can alter his life by al

tering his mind (attitude) William James.

Welcome to the third in series of the intellectual conversations between Neel an
d Som, the bosom friends. Today we understand about the internal organisation of
Mind, Prana and body!
Neel was sitting on the bench in the park. A big banyan tree stood just close by
with its vertical branches piercing the ground underneath and it appeared from
a distance like a mystic with open arms, various waves in his robes sweeping dow
n to the ground!
He closed his eyes lying in wait for Som to arrive. It was 6.50 am in the mornin
g and he had time to get into a quick dhyaana. He soon heard the sound of Som s bi
ke coming to a halt outside the park gates which was atleast a hundred meters aw
ay! Neel had practiced getting his mind focussed deeply, to listen to every disc
ernable sound outside. As he silenced his mind and listened, he would be alert o
f his breath and observe every minute change in breath! That would reveal him va
rious happenings in the outer world, without observing them with his eyes! This
he had learnt in his Svara yoga stint with his venerable Guru!
Hey Neel, good morning said a visibly happy Som as he walked towards the bench whe
re Neel was sitting with his eyes closed.
Hey Somy, good morning, nice to see you. The white and orange stripes on your T s
hirt look great in combination with perhaps your dark trousers said Neel without
opening his eyes!
Thanks Neel, but wait a moment. I thought you were sitting with your eyes closed
! When did you notice the color of my T shirt and my track pant said Som with a t
one of astonishment
Well, i didnt see it, but could make out as you came close by. Every color has a
unique vibration and once you feel the vibration in your deep focus stage, you c
an make out. I did practice this for over 3 years to get this ability. When i am
in deep dhyaana, if you bring out stuff in varying colors, I would be able to n
ame the colors without opening my eyes! said Neel slowly opening his eyes.
Neel, thats ammmazzzing! But how? How is that possible? Could you teach me that?
Would I be able to do that? queried SOm with a glint of excitement in his voice,
sitting on the bench with a distance of a few feets from where Neel sat.
Somy, what your mind can do, in connection with the knowledge of Praana or the br
eath, is something I cant talk enough about! I mean the possibilities are simply
mind boggling. I can feel the colors of your Aura right now when
I focus on my mind-praaNa and yes anyone with determination and consistency can
do it !
Oh this is getting too exciting for me. When can you teach me this?
I would do that eventually Somy, but before that, you need to understand somethin
g about the inner organisation, that I talked about earlier, to reach your goal
for success. That should be your immediate goal and these tough saadhanas you co
uld take up slightly later. What do you say? said Neel as he and Som looked aroun
d the Park.
The atmosphere was pleasant in the Park. Chirping birds perched atop many tall t
rees, kids- running around happily making inimitable sounds, seekers of a sound
body and mind-jogging, walking, doing breathing exercises and meditating soon ab
ounded in this beautiful park making it serene and pleasant!

Yes, I agree. said Som answering Neels question. Please take me in step by step, fo
r I want to achieve them all myself to see their efficacy
Sure Somy. Do you remember our conversation yesterday on the external mind associ
ated with our body and the three internal minds?
Yes I do?
Well,these three inner minds, provide the base for
ife, your likes and hates, your orientation towards
n..etc. All this coming from various lives that you
so far and depending upon what has been recorded in
s are called samskaaras!

all your experiences in this l

good or bad, pleasure or pai
have had
those minds. These recording

Hmmmm..
We have seen that a new born child too exhibits its liking or hate for something.
Where is that coming from for a new born? Its coming from its past samskaaras st
ored in its inner minds, now finding expression through outer
mind
Ohhh..i see
However, to obtain success in this life, all these minds are to be organised in
such a way that they point to one goal
But how?
You would know that as I explain you various facts in steps. For someone to be s
uccessful in whatever area of life that a person choses, the efforts towards the
goal should be highly focussed and calibrated.Just labour is not going to take
us somewhere. The right kind of action is they key. For all this to happen you n
eed perception and intelligence .
hmmm no doubt
We are unfortunately not doing it this way. All that happens, happens within you.
You see within you, hear, pleasure, pain..etc, happens inside and not outside.W
ho should determine what should happen within you?
Me !
Absolutely.The events need not be determined by you, but the experience is determ
ined by you.
Yes, thats right!. The stimulus and the response theory right? Whatever the stimu
lus that comes from outside, the response can be good or bad or neutral based on
what we choose. If we choose a correct response, no one can prevent us from bei
ng happy. To choose is our choice said Som as he tried to show that he is not all
that bad in these matters.
Yes. However, if I ask you to jump from here over to you bike, would you be able
to do it?
No!

said Som.

Exactly! Now whats the basis for your response ?. Your past experience! This is b
ecause your external mind has learnt whatever it knows from the 5 senses.You hav
e decided that what has not happened till now will not happen

Yes, makes sense

What you think powerfully and set it out, will invariably manifest. If you creat
e a thought without any negativity, without any -ve thought bringing down the in
tensity of your +ve thought, then it would manifest. Today science says the whol
e existence can be measured as a reverberation of energy. Its a vibration. Simil
arly our thought is a vibration.
Hmmm
So how do you remove negative thought that creeps along with a positive thought?
Well, more positive assertion I guess?
People use faith to remove that to an extent! If they feel they need to build a h
ouse, but have a doubt, looking at their finances, they would go and seek the sa
me from God. They feel God is somehow going to do it for them. This might work f
or some, having in shake-able faith, but not in all cases, as some or the other
negative thoughts would still creep in
Internal organisation to achieve external harmony:
So, whats the solution for people in general?

quizzed Som in keenness.

Firm commitment is the answer!.If you simply commit yourself to create what you
wish, your thoughts get organised.To create what you really care for, what you w
ant must be clearly well manifested in your mind.This is because, sometimes when
people reach there, they feel its the next destination, and after reaching ther
e again they seek the next and so on. Therefore your want must be clearly the de
stination you want to reach where you don t get a feeling you still need something
more. Only then the minds organize
I see
The game of internal organizing to get external success, is to get your mind, yo
ur emotions, your energies and your body organised to fire in the same direction
But how?
By organising your minds first! Your goal should be clearly manifested in mind. V
isualise your goal and meditate on it consistently. As your meditation becomes d
eeper, you eliminate the negative thoughts coming from your past and stored in t
he external mind, thereby your goal becoming a powerful thought set in motion in
to the world
Wow, thats great!
Then when your
by your emotion
al energies set
nize, then your

mind gets organised, they way you think is the way you feel, there
gets organised. Once your emotion is organised, then your intern
in motion towards your goal and once your internal energies orga
body and action moves firmly towards the goal

Hey, that is amazing!

Yes, once you organize your mind, emotion, energy or praana and your body and act
ions, you are no more an ordinary man, you virtually become a creator -a kalpavr
iksha (a desire fulfill-er).
Neel, my Guru, thanks to your powerful sermon today. I am already motivated to tr
y out your method of organizing. I suddenly get a feeling now that I am destined

to reach my goal, no matter what!

Som s voice quivering in excitement.

Great Somy. We will depart with this great thought. We will understand the meanin
g of mind and the meaning of meditation in our next meet
Sure my Guru. My salutations to you said Som with his hands folded into a namaste
to his great friend and guide Neel to which Neel reciprocated with his namaste!
The friends then slowly walked out of the park and departed to their respective
goals for the day!
The next blog:
We would continue to understand mind and its role in taking us first to our mate
rial prosperity and then slowly move towards our spiritual richness.
