When you surf
the internet you will get plethora of ideas on the subject of purification of mind.
Most of these involve lot of your effort and time. Let me give you a simple solution to get your
mind cultured.
You can sit
somewhere and relax. Now close your eyes and breathe effortlessly. Thereafter
you do an easy method introduced by Lord Buddha. Known as Vipassana Bhavana
this helps you purify your mind with little effort and in less time than any
other technique purveyed in the market.
There are two
stages in purification. One is to expel all thoughts that border on evil. Next
is to fill the vacuum by good thoughts. Imagine how an exhaust fan works; it
expels the hot air and allows fresh air to come in. Similarly, when you chase
bad thoughts out there is a vacuum created which is filled with fresh but good
thoughts. In both these stages of expelling and filling, you gain insight into
matters around you. There are three
steps in gaining such insight. First one
is to observe and learn about a matter. Second step is to analyse the matter in
every angle. Third and final step is to understand and arrive at a conclusion.
For example,
you see your mind is craving for pleasure. And you always get into trouble due
to over-indulgence. In order to remove this craving you go through the three
steps observation, analysis and understanding to control it or if possible eliminate
it totally. Vipassana Bhavana is dynamic and is often equated to a moving light
that illuminates. In addition to purify you mind it helps you in synchronizing
your body, mind and spirit.
