The Superconscious Mind – Part Four
Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami gives his weekly upadesha in Kadavul Temple. It is part of a series of talks elaborating on the inspired teachings of Śivaya Subramuniyaswami as found in his book Merging With Śiva.
“When the superconscious forces diminish, the subsuperconscious mind, in effect, recedes from the actual consciousness of the devotee, and he becomes simply conscious of his subconscious mind. In the very same way, from time to time, the conscious mind overshadows the subconscious mind, and the devotee becomes conscious fully in the external world, the subconscious mind receding from his conscious awareness of it. Therefore, the object of the devotee is to control the materialistic forces and the impressions that they create in his mind, so that he can become consciously conscious in the state of mind he chooses.”

Jai Ganesha!
Jai Sri Mahalingeswara!
Thank you Satguru and Swamis for this post. When meditation vs mediation becomes a major issue in today’s world, it is at times overwhelming for a devotee, and it takes a lot of strength and commitment to get on with remembering Lord Siva all the time and continue the meditation. Strong willpower, devotion and the welfare of the world will get me thru!
Aum Namasivaya
