TO THE MIND --- 10

વિચારો  ગમે  તે,  સ્ફૂરે  તે  થવા  દૈ,
ઊંડુ  સ્પર્શવા  ના  દઇ,  તેમને  હું,
અને  તેમની  છાપ  સ્હેજે  લગારે,
રહેવા  ન  દેવા  મથું ને  મથાવું.    --------- (૬૫)

પુજ્ય શ્રી મોટા
મનને.

Any thoughts that spring up, I let it,
Yet escaping their effects and deep impressions,
Oh! My mind, I try hard
And ask from you the same.

કદી  રાગદ્વેષે  ન  તું  લક્ષ  દેજે,
ન  ચિંતા  બીજી  કોઇ  તું  વ્હોરી  લેજેઃ
અને  ભાગ  આવેલ  જે  કર્મ  તેને-
-કરીને  પૂ્્રું  નિત્ય  નિશ્ર્ચિંત  રે 'જે. ----------- (૩૬)

પૂજ્ય શ્રી મોટા

Neither pay attention to attachment and hate
Nor accept any other worries
Oh! My mind, always be relaxed
When the work that came your way is finished.

TO THE MIND -- 7


તને  સે ' જ્યે  પાપ  બુધ્ધિ  ન  જાગો,
તને  વાસના  કોઇ  રીતે  ન  લાગો,
સદા  સર્વ  સંકલ્પ  ને  કલ્પનાઓ,
ધરી  કાળજી,  જાગૃતિ  રાખી,  ત્યાગો.   ---------  (૨૮).

પૂજ્ય શ્રી મોટા

May evil thoughts not arise in you,
And may you never be touched by old desires.
Oh! My mind, with care and awareness forever
Give up all desires and imaginations.

બધાં  સાધનોમાં  મને  તું  જ  શ્રેષ્ઠ,
ન  ચાલે  લગારે,  ન  જો  તારી  હૂંફ ઃ
કરું  કામ  મારાં  તહારી  સહાયે,
તને  યાચું  હું  સંગ  રે ' વા  સદાયે.    --------     (૨૩)                          

પૂજ્ય શ્રી મોટા

By far you are the excellent tool amongst many,
Without your warmth and trust I can not function,
All my works are done with your support,
Oh!  My mind, I yearn to stay with you for ever.

TO THE MIND -- 9.

બહુ  દોષ  તારા  અરે !  મેં  બતાવ્યા,
વળી  વાંક  તારા  હજારો  ગણાવ્યા,
છતાં  હું  પિછાનું  ગુણો  શક્તિ  તારી,
ઊંભો  રૈ '  શક્યો  છું  સહાયે  જ  તારી.  ---------- (૫૬)

પૂજ્ય શ્રી મોટા

Showed your numerous defects,
Counted your crookedness thousands of times,
And yet I know your strength and goodness,
Oh! My mind with your help I sustain myself.

ASPIRATION ( પ્રેરણા)

Aspiration lies in higher intelligence. When higher intelligence is focused on any subject and starts thinking and mulling over it, mind and prana associates with it. In this circumstances ego cannot associate with it. When higher intelligence, mind and prana are focused then aspiration springs up. There is nothing false or untrue in aspiration.We will not be harmed if we act according to the aspiration. We return to the same level of intelligence after rise of this aspiration. We start thinking about pros and cons and lose the force of aspiration.

Occasionally when our  higher intelligence, mind and psyche are busy with activities of prana and ego we sometimes get aspiration also and at times repeatedly. We tend to ignore this aspiration as the inner implements ( mind, intelligence etc ) are busy with its workings. If we follow this aspiration it will be beneficial.

Aspiration is near to our Atma (spark of divine in us) although it is not Atma itself. Aspiration springs from the region of Atma. Our bodies are of physical nature and Atma that lies in our bodies can be experienced through the body. Aspiration is of physical nature but it helps us a lot.
