Dayaram (a saint) has written in one of his devotional songs that ' you will find the truth if you make mind its own Guru.' He has shown the real key of the Sadhana in this devotional song. We need to make mind its own Guru. One may have a question, how can we do this? Mind tries to trap us completely in its ripples, imaginations, flights, thoughts, tendencies, feelings etc. At such times, awakened mind (higher mind) can always help the lower mind and prevent it from being swept away in the force of lower mind. When we have developed genuine eagerness and strong desire then only our mind becomes completely awakened. Even then, there is expression of many kind of sanskaras that has been lying dormant. At this time, the awaked mind always draws our attention towards it. It also makes us alert to separate from such thoughts and feelings. This is also the fact of the progress in the path of development of life.
