06. Transformation of the Mind

Fragment ID: 2918

It is the thinking mind that works out ideas – the externalising mental or physical mind gives them form in words. Probably you have not developed this part sufficiently. The gift of verbal expression is comparatively rare. Most people are either clumsy in expression or if they write abundantly, it is without proper arrangement and style. But this is of no essential importance in sadhana – all that is needed is to convey clearly the perceptions and experiences of the sadhana.
