[QUOTE="Neutral Singh, post: 7163, member: 2"] Extract taken from elsewhere on internet. Let me share with you some understanding about mind I got from Gurbani. In fact most of the Gurbani is adressasd to our mind because our mind is us. Whatever we think ,do and dream is from our mind. Mind is called 'jeev' in Gurbani. SGGS discusses everything about mind but sometimes we dont understand it till we really seek and the answers come. Mind is the child of God Who sent it down into the world He created Hmself to fill in a role in the drama He has created and is watching and directing. His play will go on till He wants it. He can change it , stop it and restart it as He likes it. All the minds are just players in it. SGGS is telling us about His play and telling us how to play our role in it to His Will and seek His blessings (Gurparsad). Guru Ji often call it 'Akath Katha or Har Ki Katha and assigns 'Sants' to tell others . "Kauh Kabir eh Ram ki uns." To support His child, the mind , He Himself is always with the mind in the form what we call Soul which keep guiding and helping the mind to play the role right. Mind and Soul are housed in a nonvisible body called 'sookham moorat' . Since the play is going on in the physical world ,mnd is given a physical body in which the subtle body is housed and tied inside in it, "Sookham moorat Naam Niranjan Kayan ka akaar." Naam Niranjan is His immaculate Soul which is also called Jot and Shabad in Gurbani.. It is thru Naam/Soul/Shabad/Jot that He keeps Himself close to the mind. "'Mool duarey bandhia bandh." Mool duaar is what is called 'dharan' in our body which is just below our belly button. Mind is made up of five elements :air,water,fire ,earth and sky which God used to make the whole universe or 'sargun saroop'. This universe is called Maya in SGGS. "Eh mun karma eh mun dharma eh mun panch tutt te janma." So it is mind which does all the mudane and spiritual deeds and is made up of five elements. Mind is made in Saram Khand along with its 'surat'-the conscousneess, ',mutt'-intellect and 'budh' understnding or wisdom. Mind uses one of these at one time. These are all God given to each mind to a level He wants. "Sidh ,mutt sub budh Tumari mandir chhavan tevey." The jeev is placed in .the embriyo in the mother's body. "Sahe ke furmaide ji dehi dehi vich jeeo aaye paia. The journey of the mind in the physical world begins when it takes the first breath and is exposed to Maya. The liv or the deep medirtation which it was given in the mother's womb breaks and the child cries for being separated from Soul'/Naam/Jot .Maya begins its work on the mind. "Liv chudki laagi trishna Maya amar vartaya." The destiny or mind's role is already written and Dharam Raj is sent along with to judge its karma. "Nanak jee uppaey kay likj Naaven dharam bahaliya." Along with Dharam Raj ,there is Chittar Gupt whose job is to record the actions of the mind for each breath and present it to Dharam Raj for judgement. Also there is Jumdoot whose job is to pull the sookham moorat out after the last breath allowed is taken by Jeev, All these beings come as a family with the Jeev for each life and go back with subtle body till the Jeev has achieved Mukti. "Ja tis bhana tan jumyian parvaar bhaala paya." Our life in this world of Maya where mind is attache to Maya is called life in Bhavjal Sagar.or Ocean of Maya which we have to cross over with help of Guru with the Help of Sabad . "Satguru hai bohitha Sabad langhavanhaar." All the memory is stored in the mind . Brain in the body only serve to receive input ,procees it and store it in the mind and bring it our when asked by the Mind is affected by Maya as soon as it is exposed to it and soon it loses its sehaj with which it was born . Maya acts thru three Gunas : Rjas (based on air which creates worries , ambitions etc),Tamas (based on fire which creates lust ,greed,anger ,attachments ,ego etc) and Satvic(based on water which creates good qualities like patience,contenetment, humility, love faith in God etc) Soon Maya takes over mind's thinking and its five doots (kaam, karodh, lobh, moh and hankaar) who are supposed to be the servants of mind in this journey become its master amd mind is lost to its origin and now becomes their slave . This produces duality and the mind which was gurmukh , now becomes manmukh and may spend its whole life full of pains and pleasures and die unhappy at the end. It is the duty of Maya to lure the mind into its own web and take it away from Its source ,God. And God sends down the Guru to advise the mind as to how to protect itself from Maya . Thus the play begins and each mind under the influence of Maya plays a unique role and the whole world and all its live beings are participants in that play. "Apna khel aap kar dekhe Mere Thakur rachan rachaya." "Karte merey khel rachaya koey na kishi jeha banaya." When the part is over Karta calls the Jeev back and the Jeev is judged by Dharam Raaj as to how well he played the part and if jeev ever remebered the Karta, the Father and the next life form and fate is decided . This cycle goes on till Jeev finally realises its folly for having fallen for Maya and listen to the Guru and thru his guidnace and help finally breaks the shackles of Maya and with blessing from God, Gurparsad reaches home ,the Nij Ghar and meets His Father/Mother in Sehaj Ghar . The journey is over in physical world but there are steps to go higher in the Spiritual World of Dasam Duaar when the jeev has to progrgess from Sant to Sadh and then to Bhagat and then to Brahamgiani stage when the Jeev becomes one with God. " Avan javan ik khel banaya Aagia kaari keeni Maya." I pray that we all fare well in this life to achieve our Moksha and be united with God thru Guru Blessings. Seeking forgiveness for errors in quoting Gurbani and typos. Humbly in service Rabinder S Bhamra Westbury ,NY [/QUOTE]
