It is said: > "Man maran mamta mari, mar mar gaya sharir, > asa trisna na miti mari, kehe gaya dasa Kabīr." Kabīr Dās Jī said, "Man maran mamta mari"—your mind did not die. Your mind cannot die until your mamta is not killed. Mamta means "my, my, my"—mamatva. "Mine, mine, mine." Mamatva signifies "my-ness." Mamatva hi dukhankakaran he. Holy Gurujī often said in satsaṅg: "Mamatva hi dukhankakaran he." "Is my, is my, is my"—this is the cause of many, many troubles. My property, my money, my wife, my husband, my children, my parents. And so on. These are all connected to troubles; they are the cause of your troubles. Be above it. "Man mara na mamta mari," because your mamta is not purified. "Marmar gaya sharir"—but the body died again and again, and the body will die again and again. And although you were born many times and died, these two things didn't die: Āśā, the hope, and Tṛṣṇā, the longing. "Kehe gaya dasa Kabīr." Kabīr Dās Jī said that Mamta, Āśā, and Tṛṣṇā—these three principles you will not clear up. Your mind will not let you be in peace, and you will never be free from the troubles. Your mind will not give you peace, and you will not be free from worry: trouble with the family, with the children, with the partner, with food, with digestion, with health, with neighbors, with society, with work, with politics, and what not. And all these are connected to these three: Mamta, Āśā, and Tṛṣṇā. They are the cause of our suffering. Therefore, the mind is the strong driving force in the body. It is the very strong force that controls the whole body, that kills the whole body. So, Mānasika Mantra Japa means you give this mālā and mantra to your mind. Tell your mind, "Repeat mantra," and go through the whole cycle. When you are there, go back. When you are there, go back, like with a tree going up and down. No mercy. With the mind, no mercy. If you take your attention away a little bit, the mind is somewhere in Canada. The mind is a ghost. Within no time, again you bring it back, repeat your mantra. And suddenly you just begin itching somewhere, and the mind is with Elfride or with Franz, or with the dog, or in the bank. So the mind is moving, and within no time it can be in many, many places. Therefore, in one bhajan, Mahāprabhujī said: "Oh mind, you lost everything with the kuśaṅgīs (bad company)." Therefore, with the mālā, it is very, very important that you practice your mantra. Many people say, "It disturbs me, the mālā. Can I, when in deep meditation, stop the mantra?" Then you are in darkness. Now your mind is governing. It is the governor, and it puts you into the darkness. You think you feel good, but the result is not good. There is one animal. It looks like a mongoose. It looks like a marten, but a marten is not a mongoose. In India you have many. There is one animal, smaller than a mongoose, between a marten and a mongoose, and it is a very terrible animal. It goes to the big animals like cows, buffaloes, elephants, camels, devas. And when the animals are relaxing at night, it tries to graze them. And they feel good, the animals. And it takes some kind of bugs out, and like this, and then it goes to the anus of the animal and tries to graze there, and the animal relaxes the Mūlādhāra, and it goes in, and the animal goes in. What it's doing inside, it eats the intestines and then runs out. The animal dies. So this mind, when it goes to the desires, it is tickling you, playing with you. Then you stop practicing mantra. Either you are sitting only like this, or some desires arise: "I would like to go to football, I would like to go swimming, I would like to meet my friends." Restlessness—that is your mind. Therefore, in yoga, in the science of mantras, after long experiments and research work, they decided to have a mālā. So mālā, mantra, meditation. You put your mind on your mālā and you find your inner peace. Mānasika mantra practice—mentally practice. Also while working, while walking, while driving, you can practice your mantra without a mālā. It is better to repeat your mantra mentally than to have nonsense thoughts. Those who feel lonely, immediately repeat your mantra. You will not be lonely. Mahāprabhujī is with you. Now, are you lonely when Mahāprabhujī is sitting beside you? No, that's it. But are you lonely, or are you a slave of your desires? This is the question. Therefore, you have to train your mind. Mental practice. Therefore, there are many, many bhajans. There is one bhajan of Mahāprabhujī: "Oh my mind, give up your willpower. Zdej se své vůle. Come, follow me. Come with me. Dođi sa mnom, my slědime. I will show you and explain what is the ātmā. Pokazat ću ti i objasniti što je ātmā. O mind, your real desire, tvoje skutečná tužba, your real longing, tvoje skutečné přání, tvoje pravá težná, tvoj cíl, is to find the ātmā. And since you have come to me, I will show you what is the ātmā, the secret of the ātmā. But you have to go away from every other thing. You are the one who tells the difference between the self and the mind. You are the one who..." > "Toya Atam Bheed Bhatavat Hath Chod Mana Chal Sangh Mere. > Toya Atam Bheed Bhatavat Hath Chod Mana Chal Sangh Mere. > Toya Atam Bheed Bhatavat Hath Chod Mana Chal Sangh Mere."
