" OM ! May my speech be based on the mind, may my mind be based on speech. O Self-effulgent One, reveal Thyself to me" !

WHAT IS MIND ?
Mind is written as "mind" and also "MIND". The one in lower case refers to individual mind & the one in upper case to the universal mind. Universal Mind is no different from the SELF.
1. The mind indeed is of the form of space. The mind indeed is omnifaced. The mind is the past. The mind is all. But in reality there is no mind.
2. O mind, why do you wander about deluded , like a Pishacha (an evil spirit) ? Behold the self indivisible. Be happy through renunciation of attachment.
3. There are no vedas, no worlds, no gods, no sacrifices. There is certainly no caste, no stage in life, no family, no birth. There is neither the path of smoke, nor the path of light. There is only the highest Truth, the homogeneous Brahman.
4. Know all this universe to be formless. Know all this universe to be without change. Know all this universe to be purified body. Know all this universe to be of the nature of the Absolute.
5. You are pure, you are without a body, your mind is not higher than the highest. You need not be ashamed to say, "I am the Self, the Supreme Truth".
