When
the One manifests as Nature composed of the five Elements,
do not imagine that its value is affected thereby. When a
rupee is changed into ten paise coins, its value is not
decreased at all. So too, see the Nature as the Supreme One
with many manifestations, not as multiplicity of
sense-impressions and attractions. Wherever your eye turns,
whatever your ears hear, your fingers touch, your tongue
tastes, your nose smells... take all to be God-filled. Do
not allow mere sound, taste, etc. to captivate your senses.
Practice to see the Divine, welcome and accept only such
thoughts and feelings and discard the others. Sage Tukaram
was once asked how can people keep this monkey-mind
controlled from running after sensuous pleasures, the Sage
advised, “Let the monkey mind run, you keep the body
with you, do not let it go after the mind”. He
encouraged, “Tell the mind, I shall not give you the
body as your servant. Then the mind will desist and it can
be defeated.”
