Swami Vishwananda always tells us to make proper use of our God-given mind. He does not like it if someone acts too emotionally or irrationally. He says that common sense is incredibly important. The cosmic illusion maya is created by the mind, and this is one of God’s greatest creations. We should not ignore this divine play, but instead adore queen maya because she is so powerful that even God can forget Himself due to her. We have to use the mind to examine and discriminate in order to go beyond this illusion. We must understand that we have a mind, but we are not the mind. The power of the mind is to be rational. We must use the mind fully, but not make it our god. The mind and the power of the mind must be our servant, as rationalism is very limited. The world and our personality are much larger. Swami says that the heart is a lot stronger than the mind. The mind has neither access to the dimensions of the heart nor the feelings of the soul. Even the strongest mind cannot grasp the power of the heart. Naamdev - Springen
