Then you will try to possess all that will satisfy these desires. Once you possess them, you will try to get more of them. There is no end to it. This constant wavering of the mind makes it impure.

So, how to make the mind pure? When the mind gets detached with these desires or impurities, it becomes pure.

Then, what is the indication that mind is pure? We will see it tomorrow.

Note – “I”ness in the body makes you feel that you are the body and when the body is lost (or dies) your existence is over. This will cause indescribable pain and fear of death. More over, the identification with the body will make you feel that you should satisfy its needs without any discrimination and at any cost.

The “My”ness in your relations and possessions give a false feeling of security that will definitely lead to feeling of insecurity and fear, in losing them. The desire to maintain them leads to greed, jealousy, anger, frustration and depression – the mind loses its stability and life becomes complicated and miserable.

When your mind is balanced, that is “Sama Budhi”, it indicates that it is pure. Then neither the absence nor the presence of sensory pleasures will bother you.
