We compromise our happiness, progress, success, and even physical and ecological well-being. Under such a scenario, it is essential for us to realize the need for transformation in our attitudes and bring about a change in our traditional mind set.
Read MoreAcharya Siddhasena (6th Cent., A.D.) wrote, 'Let us observe the state of our body, perceive the form of our mind. Let us sit in meditation and observe the different states of our body.' Thousand of different kinds of changes occur in our body and to witness all these changes with inner eye is called the perception of self through self.
The practice of the pereception of body consists in concentrating the mind on each part of the body, one by one and perceiving the sensations and vibrations taking place in each part.
Starting from the surface you have to penetrate deeply inside and try to become aware of the internal and subtle vibrations.
Remain completely equanimous towards the sensations; try to keep your mind free from like or dislike.
Concentrate your mind on the big toe of your right foot. Allow it to spread and permeate throughout the whole portion of the toe. Perceive the sensations and vibrations taking place in that region.
This principle is about being‘action-oriented and not reaction oriented’. However, reaction has become an integral part of the human nature, in spite of the fact that every individual desires for freedom.
Now shift your attention to each part of right limb one by one. I shall now indicate the name of the part of your body on which you have to concentrate your mind and perceive it: The other toes, the sole, the heel, the ankle, the upper part of the foot, the calf-muscles, the knee, the thigh, upto the hip-joint. Perceive the whole part, experience the sensations and vibrations taking place in each part.

We have drawn a circle around the mind. We do not want to cross this circle. It is not possible to assess the potential of the mind without breaking this cordon. The mind can know the thoughts of other minds also and influence them. It can send and receive mes-sages to and from other minds also.
