10th February 2013 – Monday – Kshipta Citta
“So we are dealing with what is called as ‘kshipta chitta’. Kshipta is distracted, but in case of our mind, it is heavily distracted. They give a simile of a monkey who has got drunk and that would be an impossible situation- very hard to control. So that is the state of our mind, it is not an ordinary mind, it is all the time jumpy, creating problems- we know it. So we are discussing this yoga sutra about such a mind. Imagine how to control it. Any views?”.

“You see, these writings are like ‘believe it or not’. Things that are beyond our imagination. If you remain truthful certain results come. Now we do see people who have been truthful whereas we see some results also. This institution is based on this principle. It has never pursued money, never carried out any wrong practice and still many would consider this is a very prosperous Institute… it carries on. When the building was getting inaugurated the mayor of Mumbai -Mirajkar- he asked what is the bank balance you have, ‘when you’ve got such a big project’. The founder honestly told him that there are 87 rs. in the bank. He was shocked. He said “out of 87 rupees, you’re going to build all this?” and founder said ‘let us see’, and gradually the institute did grow; how we wonder. We just pursue the right things and there are people who sympathize and help us with that. So in this kind of writings they call certain belief assurance: that if you follow the right path you will arrive at the destination. This has been the history of the yoga institute now 98 years”.
