The human mind is a storehouse of great powers. But owing to various obstacles and limitations, only a fraction of these is manifested in normal life. And it is with this small fraction that all the great discoveries of science and the achievements of art have been made. A yogi looks upon his mind as a source of power, peace and goodness. The Gita says that a properly cultivated and purified mind acts as one’s friend and an undisciplined mind acts as one’s enemy. Instead of looking upon oneself as a weak, miserable, worthless sinner, a spiritual aspirant should constantly remember the infinite possibilities that remain hidden in the mind waiting to be discovered and developed. This is the central point in Swami Vivekananda’s message to the modern world. Such a bracing yogic attitude is a necessary precondition for the practice of meditation.
