In the Ocean of the mind Positive and Negative energies constantly aspire to overcome each other. Sometimes the Positives energies win, at other times they lose to the strong Negative impulses. Such is the Nature of the Human mind, that this churning is inevitable and must go on for each Mind to evolve, and for mortals to find a meaningful existence by relating to a Timeless dimension spirituality and mentally.
The need to control the mind becomes apparent to the Spiritual seeker. Under the direction of a Guru Steeped in tradition, this churning itself may be an end in itself and produce innumerable gams of fortitude and bliss. They will be gems of great worth that will hold the traveler in good stead on the path of Spiritual progress. This rituals immersion in the memory of the churning has to be remembered periodically, in a moment that uses Time to transcend time. That is the secret of the Kumbh- Mahakumbh ‘melas’ in India, where millions gather at the appointed Space and Time, to rejuvenate their Selves with a few drops of Spiritual Ambrosia.
Includes passages in Sanskrit (Sanskrit in Devanagari and Latin).
