What is the power of the mind, and why is managing it an important responsibility? Bhagawan clearly directs us today.

Mind has both animality and humanness. You should try to understand what is meant by animality and humanness. When the mind is overpowered by the six inner enemies of man, viz., kama, krodha, lobha, moha, mada and matsarya (desire, anger, greed, delusion, pride and jealousy), man forgets his humanness, takes to the path of animality and degenerates to the level of an animal. On the other hand, when the mind follows the path of humanness and makes proper use of mati (mind), gati (destiny), sthiti (position) and sampatti (wealth) given by God, man can rise to the level of divinity and do great good to his country and society at large. Mind is the root cause of good and bad. The nobility that is there in the mind cannot be found anywhere else. Similarly, wickedness found in the mind cannot be found anywhere else. Mind is as much good as it is wicked.
