Mind is like a river flowing
A spiritual discourse on desires, the subconscious mind, and self-discipline.
"What happens to those desires we could not fulfill, even in a dream? They remain unresolved. They retreat back into the subconscious, only to emerge again later."
"Self-discipline means to direct your mind, your desires, and your vision in a particular direction so that all your energy will automatically join you, leading you to the full moon."
The speaker explores the fate of both unfulfilled and fulfilled desires, explaining how they retreat into the subconscious as a formless psychic residue. The talk shifts to the power of meditation to address mental afflictions and emphasizes self-discipline as the key to directing one's mind and energy toward a life aim, noting the ever-changing nature of feelings and thoughts.
