MIND : THE GREATEST WEAPON
The mind uncontrolled and unguided will drag us down, for ever--rend us, kill us; and the mind controlled and guided will save us, free us. So it must be controlled, and psychology teaches us how to do it.
To study and analyze any material science, sufficient data are obtained. These facts are studied and analyzed, and a knowledge of the science is the result. But in the study and analysis of the mind, there are no data, no facts acquired from without, such as are equally at the command of all.
The mind is analyzed by itself. The greatest science, therefore, is the science of the mind, the science of psychology.
Deep, deep within, is the soul, the essential man, the Atman. Turn the mind inward and become united to that; and from that standpoint of stability, the gyrations of the mind can be watched and facts observed, which are to be found in all persons.
To control the mind you must go deep down into the subconscious mind, classify and arrange in order all the different impressions, thoughts, etc. stored up there, and control them. This is the first step. By the control of the subconscious mind you get control over the conscious.
THE POWER OF MIND
The power of attention, when properly guided, and directed towards the internal world, will analyze the mind, and illuminate facts for us. The power of mind are like rays of light dissipated; when they are concentrated, they illuminate. This is our only means of knowledge.
The world is ready to give up its secrets if we only know how to knock, How to give it the necessary blow. The strength and force of the blow come through concentration.
There is no limit to the power of the human mind. The more concentrated it is, the more power is brought to bear on one point; that is the secret.
