A Cup of Coffee with God Part 2

(An Uncommon dialogue between God and Me)

Gan, Chennai

Me: Hi! God. Thanks for dropping in. I have lots of doubts on MIND and its related spheres. Can I get clarifications from you? God: Pleasure, Please Proceed. Me: First of all what is MIND exactly? God: I will use the computer analogy to explain what a Mind is. But, do not literally take the comparisons. As you should understand, I use these terminologies. These are mere approximations for understanding purposes. Your computer hardware is similar to your Physical Body. Your Hard Disk is similar to your Brain. The Operating Systems which run the Computer like Windows, Mac, Linux, Android etc are analogues to your CONSCIOUSNESS. After integrating Hardware, Hard Disk, and installing the OS the computer becomes active. Now, the computer is ready for use. Similarly when you are born you become active with your Body, Brain and Consciousness. Now the computer is simply of no use with OS alone. You need to install various software to make use of the computer effectively. So, you keep installing Word, Power Point, Tennis Game, Music Player etc one after another in your computer. You may install even 1000-2000 Software. These are called application software. These are written suitable to the specific OS. Similarly every living being have

their built in OS as Consciousness. The Brain develops various Thoughts and Memories which are analogues to Application Software. Some are good at Dance, some in Music, some in Computers, like that the talent varies. When you run improper software the system crashes and hangs. Similarly you should know how to use your mind and deploy it properly and effectively. The Application software are dependent upon the OS, but the OS is itself is not dependent on the Application Software. Similarly, Your Mind is dependent upon the Consciousness and the Consciousness is not dependent upon the Mind. You also have Genetic Imprints, Vasanas and Samskaras which can be assumed to be like preloaded software with the computer. Life can be assumed to be like power supply. These comparisons are mere analogies and mere approximations. M: To certain extent I agree with your analogy, but not fully. Now, tell me how I should deploy my mind effectively. G: Firstly, there is nothing separately called Mind. There is Brain. There are Thoughts. Big volume of thoughts becomes an entity called Mind. Thoughts are discrete. Assembled thoughts give the feelings of Mind. As thoughts vary from person to person, the MIND also varies from person to person. You should keenly observe here. Thoughts will vary from person to person as also mind will vary from person to person. This is the beauty of Mind. But, you people expect the other person to think like you and act like you. What a Stupidity? The beauty of creation is in its variety of Thoughts like variety of Flowers. It should vary. It will vary. It must vary.

All thoughts are merely like clouds passing through the Sky. The Sky which is similar to Consciousness is in no way affected by the clouds. The Sky can exist even without Clouds. Similarly Consciousness can exist without the Mind. Thoughts in themselves need not be perfect as there is no well defined limit for perfection. Perfection of mind can go up to nth degree without end. So, ALL MINDS ARE SUBJECT TO IMPERFECTION. CONSCIOUSNESS alone is PERFECT. As long as you live in MIND conflicts are obviously bound to happen. Please understand, MIND means prone to IMPERFECTION. With so many MINDS conflicting with each other DIS-HARMONY is certain to happen. M: Then, Should I not use my MIND to avoid conflicts? G: You are thoroughly mistaken. You people OVERUSE the MIND. Not only you people overuse the Mind but also Misuse it to a lot extent. You are paid for your own Thoughts. MIND is merely like a TOOL, similar to Spanner, Tester, Multimeter, Car, Bag etc. After its usage it should be put to rest. Rather, the most pitiable aspect is, the MIND has started using you instead of you using the MIND. The Servant has become the Master and the Master has become the Servant. M: How will you prove that MIND alone is the cause of all conflicts? Your MIND becomes active in Waking State and Dream State. Even in Dream state you get into conflicts. What nonsense of the Mind? In the deep sleep

state since your mind also goes into sleep mode, at least you enjoy your true blissful state in the Deep Sleep State called Sushupti. Else, you people will have conflicts for 24x365 hours due to the trouble of MIND. M: I cannot avoid my MIND. It is required for all decision making purposes. Suggest me how I should use my MIND. G: Consciously watch your MIND. Consciously watch all your actions. Dont be addicted to your MIND. Dont believe your MIND. Put the MIND in OBSERVATION Mode. Put a check to your Minds Authority. Crush the EGO. Associate with people who have less EGO. Deploy all actions to put MIND under control like Meditation, Prayer, Satsang etc. Fire all your engines to bring the MIND under control. M: Can I use Alcohol, Drugs, Smoking etc to bring my MIND in to tranquility? G: There is no better nonsense than to use Alcohol, Drugs, Smoking etc to tranquil the MIND. It is like rearing a Lion to safeguard your house. Anything which unnaturally alters the MIND is bound to have disastrous effect on your mind and health and naturally you should avoid all these means. M: God, I have a big Doubt. Which communication comes from my mind and which communication comes from my consciousness? G: That is very simple to decipher. Communications from the Consciousness arise from the Heart Centre. It will be in the form of Feelings. Consciousness always communicates through Polite, Humble, Suggestive, and

in Whispering mode. They are never authoritative, adamant, or autocratic. You can easily differentiate them by practice if you are a keen observer of your self. Consciousness will not get anger and advise you politely even if you fail Thousand Times. Try to live in HEART and not in MIND. Use your MIND as often as you need and put it in to rest when not needed, Use your HEART to take decisions. M: How can the HEART Think? It is only MIND that can think. G: Dont hang on to Words. Dont try to literally translate every word. HEART is the Center of FEELINGS. MIND is the centre of THOUGHTS. M: Your words seem little Angry. Isnt it? G: Me, getting angry? Never. Please, understand the difference between ASSERTIVENESS and ANGER. I am CONSCIOUSNESS. I am beyond MIND. Those who use the MIND only get Anger. M: I am Sorry! I have thoroughly mistaken you. G: Dont believe your MIND too much. Try to Live in CONSCIOUSNESS. This is the only way to get over the domination of MIND. Make your Mind a Servant. When you do a mistake, politely ask an excuse. Observe humility. M: Please tell me how I can live in consciousness? G: Many persons dont know that they have consciousness also. They always live in the Mind. Look at the Drunkards lying on platforms. To live in

consciousness is to have Sincere Desire to know your TRUE SELF. This will open up the consciousness gradually. M: How to have the sincere desire to know the TRUE SELF? G: This is Automatic. Every experience gives you an opportunity to know your True Self. In fact, all your attempts are eventually meant to find out your True Self. Some find it early. Some find it little late. Some find it too late. But, you cant escape the design. You must find out your true self. Else, you will not be here on the earth. Success is assured from my side. All the Best!
Mind is a product of Brain, Consciousness is Real Self Mind is Temporary, Consciousness is Eternal Mind Evolves, Consciousness is Fully Evolved Mind is merely a TOOL, Consciousness is your REAL SELF All Minds are Subject to Imperfection, Consciousness alone is Perfect Mind means Happiness and Sorrow, Consciousness is Bliss Choose to Live in the Best!

M: This time at least a Cup of Coffee with Me ? G: Thanks for your offer. Whatever you do ultimately comes to me. As I said early, there is no difference you drinking the Coffee and Me drinking the Coffee. Both are one and the same. Love you so much!
