Transcend the Limitations of Your Mind

Your mind can attain a supreme balanced state if your emotions and thoughts are under control. If your mind is under control, you ponder before taking bodily actions like speaking and eating, that leads to a balanced physical state.
There is a need to keep your conscious thought process in a balanced state and whenever you feel that a certain thought is leading you towards a negative state of mind, surcease- then and there.
Because once that thought process starts progressing within you, its energy too will start proliferating within your physical state and then it becomes impossible to halt this particular thought process.
Therefore, to reign in your mind, to hold absolute control over it, endeavour to bring balance into your thought process. Keep a conscious focus on what are we thinking and contemplate, are we thinking a lot about negatives, or is our thought process affected by extremely strong feelings.
There are times when we admire a person, but if they speak anything bad about us, we start disliking that person and this is how we fail in bringing balance into our life. This is the state of extremity and the thought process that swings amidst the excesses like these can never attain the purest state of balance.
And therefore, Bhagwan Buddha says, refrain from getting indulged into the extremities. Avoid behaving like a pendulum and make efforts to balance your mind on a central point. That means, transcend the limitations of your mind because keeping the mind in a consistent state of balance is challenging.
We can say that the meaning of balancing rests in bringing the mind on a central point. At that point, we transcend our mental limitations and when we achieve that, we achieve absolute control over our mind.
In our complete being, the soul is supreme. Our Pran is above our body, the mind is above Pran, buddhi is above the mind and the soul is above buddhi. We put control on our body with mind and Pran; our buddhi controls the mind and the soul, the supreme, controls mind.
Therefore, should you want to control your mind, and attain a stable state, empower your soul. If the soul is empowered, it positively puts control on your body, Pran, mind and buddhi. Generally, people follow an incorrect path and put the soul at last while keeping the body at the front- the result is an imbalance that leads to a lot of complications.
The path that is incorrect is- the body seeks, the mind fulfills, and buddhi justifies the action giving logic that whatever has been performed is satisfactory and in the complete process, during the whole Karma, the soul is left behind.
The right path, however, should be, whatever our soul is seeking, our body, mind, Buddhi, and Pran shall react according to that. The man who knows the right path, the man who keeps his soul at the front, only he is the Soul-Centric (Atma-Pradhan) man who can attain the supreme balanced state.
But people, in general, are Sense-Centric (Indriya-Pradhaan) and Body-Centric (Shareer-Pradhaan) that consequently leads to a situation when they suffer.
And unfortunately, they repeat their mistakes while understanding it completely and knowing that something is erroneous, but very few people apply that knowledge for practical purposes in the real world. This is because committing such errors is a habit now that results in a lot of trouble and such habits entrap humans into a complex web.
Therefore, empower the supreme, your soul; the supreme power that puts controls on the mind, senses, Pran, and Buddhi. Only an empowered soul will lead you towards the balanced state that will make you realise your true self (Atma-Swaroop).
The yogi with a balanced mind achieves the divine Yogic state (Yogarudha Awastha), the state where they transcend the mind and its limitations. A state without fluctuations, where the mind turns into a zilch and you achieve the state of Paramatma, and eventually, the state of true bliss, Moksha, which is the sole purpose of every living human being.
But those who are entrapped in the state of extremities can never attain the state of Paramātmā because to attain that, the first condition is having a balanced state, and the one who attains the balanced state is the one who is worth the attainment of Moksha.
