Mind under Influence

Avyakt Murli 09 January 1996

Your mind exerts its own influence; you become influenced by your mind. Just see: in any little wasteful incident or wasteful atmosphere or wasteful scene, where is the influence felt first? There is an influence on your mind and your intellect then co-operates with it. Then, if your mind and intellect move in that direction, it creates a sanskar. Even now, check yourself: How was my wasteful sanskar created? For example, if a sanskar has been created so that your mind has bad feelings in a second over a little incident, how was that sanskar created? Then, you say 'I don't want it. I think about it and yet it happens.’ This is called: Being influenced by sanskars. For some, their minds become disheartened in no time.
