To reach the soul, meditation is needed, not the mind.
The soul is imperceptible to the mind, not an object for the mind.
If we understand it like this, it will be easier for us. The eye sees but cannot hear. Hearing is an object for the eye. Not an object for the eye. The eyes have no way of capturing sound. The ear detects sound, but sound cannot be seen. The eye can see colour, shape, size, light – not sound. This is how the mind grasps matter. Consciousness is an object for him. The soul will not be visible to the mind. Therefore, the one who started searching with his heart, started searching using wrong means. And if the soul is not found, it does not prove the absence of the soul, it only proves that the means you were carrying was irrelevant. The mind has no connection with the soul. Some other path will have to be found for the soul.
Meditation is the way. The one who cannot think, can meditate. What is an object for the mind is an object for meditation. Meditation awakens a new power within, which is additional to the mind - neither of the eyes, nor of the ears, nor of the nose, nor of the hands, nor of the body, nor of the mind. apart from all this And is different. If we understand this then it will become easier. There is a mirror. Whatever falls in front of him becomes visible. If we hang another mirror behind us, what is behind also becomes visible. Mind is a mirror, to catch matter. Meditation is also a mirror to capture the divine. We cannot experience the soul without meditation.
The soul is the subject of mind and speech, because the mind can think, it cannot know – it can think, but it cannot know. The meaning of mind is the ability to think – the capacity to think. That is why it is called mind. And that is why man is called man, he who can think. Mind means: ability to think, ability to think. But gaining knowledge is a different matter. The truth is that where we do not have knowledge, the mind works as a substitute and supplement. Where there is no knowledge, we manage things by thinking. Where there is knowledge, there is no need to think and act.
Like a blind man, when he wants to go out of the room, he asks where is the way? Wondering where the way is? Finds out, where is the way? A man with eyes, when he has to go out, doesn't even think about where the path is. Don't even think where the door is. There is no question to ask, the man with one eye gets up and leaves. If you remind him, then perhaps he will remember that your groom came out of the door, otherwise the door would not even come to mind. When the eyes can see, there is no need to believe or think.
Mind is the remedy for ignorance. If you want to live with ignorance, you need a very active mind to think. For the one who wants to live in knowledge, for the one who wants to attain knowledge, there is no need for the mind. The mind becomes useless.
Knowledge comes to the consciousness, thoughts come to the mind. Besides, soul is also the subject of speech. It cannot be described even with words. Therefore there is no way to convince others. No way to communicate, no way to communicate. The dumb becomes like jaggery. The one who comes to know gets into a lot of trouble, because he is unable to say what he wants to say to anyone else. Thousands of devices, thousands of solutions are found to tell you. Still it cannot be said, all solutions go in vain, it cannot be said. The soul is immaterial for speech, because speech is the power of the mind. How can the mind describe something that the mind cannot know? If the mind could know, then speech could say.
So remember, whatever the mind can know, speech can say. But how can speech describe something that the mind cannot know? Speech is the servant of the mind. It is a part of the mind. That is why speech cannot express it. To reach the soul, meditation is needed, not the mind. You must have understood what is the difference between mind and meditation.
