The mind, the madwoman of the house Part 1, by Javier Figuerola or Haripada dasa
In Spain there was a Santa who was called Santa Teresa of Avila, she compared this body with a house where the soul lives and the mind called the madwoman of the house. The function of the mind is to accept and reject, a very practical example of this is in the life of Jesus Christ, Palm Sunday thousands of people accepted him as their Savior and spent only 4 days and the same people shouted to be crucified. The first duty in the spiritual life is to control the mind and the senses, once a devotee asked Srila Prabhupada how I can control my mind and my senses, and Srila Prabhupada replied that you can not by yourself, but when you occupy your mind and your senses in the service of God or Krishna, He controls you personally. In the meaning of the maha-mantra Hare Krishna Srila Prabhupada says that the cultivation of Krishna consciousness is not an artificial imposition that is made to the mind, this consciousness is the original energy of the living entity, which revives when we hear the transcendental vibration , and when in fact we are in the plane of the spiritual understanding, having surpassed the levels of the senses, the mind and the intelligence, we are placed in the transcendental plane.
Most relationships with people are based on the mental plane, and most people have their mind dirtier than a dump, mind is full of lust, envy, fanaticism, doubts, prejudice, anger and ignorance. Most people are accustomed to relate to others based on what I can get out of this person, and when they see that there is a person who wants to relate with love and trust without wanting anything in return, people grab fear and they become defensive. Practically people in this age are like animals or lower than animals, finding a person who is happy and free is very difficult. The whole problem is false ego, pride, no one goes through life posing as the number one fool, everyone thinks I'm something very special, I'm God, and I can do whatever I want and it's not going to pass anything.
