Mind

A spiritual discourse on the power and purification of the mind.

"The entire world is created from the mind. You are as you think."

"Therefore, yoga practice gives us the possibilities to know the mind, to control the mind, and to direct the mind."

The speaker explains the foundational principle of 'mano matra jagataḥ,' describing how one's thoughts shape personal reality and experience. He emphasizes that negative thinking is self-poisoning and that the mind itself is the primary obstacle. The talk outlines the purpose of yoga as a means to purify the mind, collect mental energy, and redirect it from negative emotions toward spiritual purposes and inner peace.

Recording location: Croatia, Umag, Weekend seminar

Mano matra jagataḥ. The entire world is created from the mind. You are as you think. If you think you are unhappy, then I am sure you are unhappy. If you think you are lonely, I believe you are lonely. If you think no one loves you, I'm sure no one loves you. Because you think like that. If you think all love me, then I'm sure all love you. You are never lonely. Yes, you are never lonely. If nobody is there, then at least you have some bugs in your house. Birds in your garden are also with you. You are never lonely. As you think, so will be the outer world. Therefore, yoga practice gives us the possibilities to know the mind, to control the mind, and to direct the mind. Negative thinking means poisoning yourself. It does not matter towards whom you think negatively; it will influence your being. It will influence your body, your mind, your consciousness, and your soul. It will influence your life. There is no one who is against you. It is only you who is against yourself. It is oneself who is standing on its own path as an obstacle. Mano matra jagataḥ. The world is created out of the mind, and the world is as your mind is. The mind is very powerful, and you can use this power for something else. Um je veoma moćan i tu moć možete iskoristiti za nešto drugo. Those who have siddhis, perfections, who perform miracles, they are utilizing their mental power. Oni koji imaju siddhi, koji imaju moći, koji stvaraju čuda, oni koriste svoju mentalnu snagu. And we are utilizing our mental powers towards greediness, jealousy, and anger. That is why energy is lost. Collect the mental energy and utilize it for a spiritual purpose. The practice of yoga purifies the mind. Vježbanje joge pročišćava um and creates mental peace. Recording location: Croatia, Umag, Weekend seminar
