The Discerning Mind

 

The Discerning Mind knows the ways to differentiate between Real and Unreal

Be it the teachings of any scriptures, learnings from life philosophy, or the practices of any religion of the world,  they all have a common thread – Exploring the profound relationship of the self and the divine. There may be times where we encounter moments of clarity, epiphany or revelation followed with doubts, confusion or chaos. However, each step takes us to the core of our heart i.e our own center. That is the space, we confront our own shadows, fears, dilemmas, desires, attachments and our own egos.

This confrontation with self, often makes us uncomfortable with the truths of our own nature, the conditioned thought patterns of our mind and the arrogance of our own ego. This uncomforting feeling with self is important and crucial, for it is through this inner confrontation that we gain profound insights to the self recognition of our true nature and our journey of life, finally bringing in self transformation. This is the point where the egoistic mind starts dissolving its arrogance, dropping its restlessness and starts humbling down to the greater forces of the universe that are at play. As the confrontations with self starts increasing, the discernment of the mind also starts increasing. It finally starts demonstrating the ability to determine for itself what information serves us for our own good, what is right for us and what is not. As we start progressing on our spiritual path of self discovery, the gift of discernment becomes the most precious gift for us. It helps us get over the illusions, allow deep letting go, a renunciation of our attachment and drop of our false ego. This helps us start aligning to the universe’s governing forces and to connect with our own higher self for guidance and support necessary for our self – discovery and evolution, ultimately leading to our freedom and liberation.
