instincts and ill-virtues disappeared and this led to the enrichment of Dharma in his life.
4. Introvert Inclinations In the Sadhana of the Navakara the fourth point is watchfulness of the mind. The Navakara with a spirit of friendliness and purity of the mind, the Sadhaka has necessarily to be watchful that other dirt does not enter the mind. Man's mind is a Bhavuka substance like water. It requires very little time to be engrossed in it with just some excuse.
Manava means the body, mind and soul. In their midst lies the mind. It is like a legal practitioner who has no independent side of his own. If he joins the body, and thinks about it, the side of the body, its atoms and Karma are brought to success; if it sides with the Atma, it thinks only of Atma and brings it to success. It has got the inherent birth-born habit of thinking and caring for the other matters connected with it and with the Atma. As it is a new function, the mind repeatedly leans towards the old things. It is therefore necessary, very much so to check now and again, as to with what the mind is connected, with which new thought it is at work.
Much depends upon the purity of the mind. Mental diseases are expanded more than those of the body. We get them diagnoised. Who will take to the diagnosis of the mind? Some of the diseases of the body spring from mental ailments. Little attention is paid today on these. Real diagnosis of the mind is worth undertaking. Its consant checking is necessary so that the mind remains pure.
We have to sweep our house daily so that the house is kept neat and clean. But the work does not end here.
