Oom Asatomahsadgamaya,

Tamasoma, Jutyrgamaya,

Mritiurma amritamgama, amritamgama,

Oam shanayshanty, shanty, shanty.

Ome, lead us from the unreal to the real, lead us from darkness unto light, lead us from death to immort real. Lead us from darkness unto light.

Lead us from death to immortality.

Ome, peace, peace, peace.

Darkness unto light, it normally works,

but light's not coming on now.

Yes. Where does the spiritual quest come from? If it comes from the mind, would it be a conflict with interest because the mind is then does the spiritual quest come from?

If it comes from the mind, wouldn't it be a conflict of interest because then the mind is

striving for its own, if not termination, at least surpassing?

First of all, when you hear terms like destruction of the mind,

going beyond the mind, it does not mean that,

see, for example, going beyond the mind does not mean you become mindless

or you take leave of your senses or your mind. No. You realize that your

real nature is beyond the mind. When you hear a phrase like destruction of the mind, it does not

literally mean that your brain damaged or something like that. It means the mind as an independent

entity ceases to be. You realize it is nothing other than consciousness,

Brahman, with the name and form called mind.

Body, world, universe, they are nothing other than Brahman.

In this sense alone the universe or the body or the mind are destroyed, otherwise they persist.
