The pitiable crow yields to the destructive storms, but the mighty eagle watches the storms beneath, peacefully!

(Bhagavatham  4.22.49 – 4.22.63)

Dear Devotee,

You would have noticed that, when you smell the fragrance of a sweet flower, your eyes get closed. Knowingly or unknowingly, your mind is shifting from the object of experience to the experiencer within.

This is a small exercise for you. Next time, when you smell a flower, do the same with more awareness. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, breathe out and then inhale the fragrance fully. Observe what is happening within you. Who is enjoying here? Are they the senses, or the mind?

When your awareness is full, observe keenly, where is the mind?

HariOm!
