The Functioning Of My Internal Processor
The body consists of physical limbs to move around and carry out its tasks in the
physical world. So too, the soul has the subtle limbs – the limb possessing
the power to think (mind), the limb possessing the power to reason and make decisions
(intellect) and limb of its own unique personality. These three subtle limbs are
used to maneuver, control and carry out tasks in the inner subtle (non-physical)
world of thoughts, feelings, emotions, decisions, mental images and nature characteristics
(or commonly called habits). I need to understand completely how these limbs work
individually and also how they function together in conjunction as a team. This
understanding helps me immensely in putting my personal mental and emotional world
in order.
If the processor of my computer develops a problem, my computer comes to a standstill.
I will be able to fix it only if I know how it works. In the same way, I have an
internal processor which has three processes going on inside it continuously right
through the day - the processes of thinking (mind), deciding (intellect)
and becoming (sanskaras) – which affect my complete functioning as a human
being. Only if I understand completely the functioning of this internal processor,
can I start to correct myself and function well.

Message for the day 01-01-2013
----------------------------------------------------------
To be experienced means not to be deceived by anything.
Expression: There are so many times when a situation takes us by surprise
and we make the same mistake that we had made before. It is only when the situation
has passed that we realise that we have actually repeated that mistake. What then
remains is only repentance as the time has passed where we could have done something.
Experience: Whenever there is a mistake, we need to take care that we learn
from whatever has happened. When we continue to move forward in this way there will
be no repentance for the mistakes made but there will be learning that'll make us
experienced. And when we are experienced we'll never be deceived by situations which
make us commit mistakes.
