as the power to discriminate between the transient and the permanent. This is not the correct definition. People use it only in the worldly sense. In fact, intellect has five aspects. They are faith, Divine order, truth, spiritual discipline and wisdom. (...) Today, many people talk of mind (manas) and intellect (buddhi) without understanding their true meaning. They think that the mind is only a combination of thoughts, but even actions are associated with it. When the mind and the intellect unite, humanness reaches a state of freedom which is referred to as liberation. It is a mistake to undertake any spiritual practice to control the mind. The nature of the mind is mysterious. It is unsteady and associated with ego. Who can control such a mind? So, never try to control the mind. Follow the intellect, then the mind naturally submits itself. The master of the mind is the intellect. The master of the intellect is the Atman. The Atman has no master. So, master the mind and be a mastermind. (...) Human body contains all the three worlds. (...) It has all the five senses of perception that recognise sound, touch, form, taste and smell. The body is made of five elements and is bound to perish, but the indweller is immortal. The indweller has no birth, no death and no bondage. Truly speaking, that indweller is God himself. (28.9.98) The texts declare that you are really the Atman, the same that animates all creation. The body of man is a temple where God is installed. The guards are consistency, and non-attachment and the control of the senses and of the emotions. If they are inefficient or idle, lust and greed, anger and envy, hate and pride sneak in, spread and hold sway over the temple; man is so deluded that he honours these thieves, as if they are the masters of' the house they have stolen into. Be master of your own mind. Be awake, arise and confront the thieves, before they capture your treasure. The Treasure is the awareness of God in all. (27-63) 172
