Personality Development - Lesson:11

YOU ARE NOT AN INSTRUMENT

We saw human beings are made up of 'The Body' which is a matter that 'Perceives', the 'Mind' the OPERATING system which instructs the body to act based on 'Feelings' and the 'Intellect' the 'Thinker' which distinguishes right & wrong. 

We have the option to act only based on feelings from the Mind or refer the matter to Intellect which can advice better. When the matter is reviewed by Intellect, invariably we take right decisions as compared to acting based on 'Feelings' from Mind. 

Swami Chinmayananda once said "Acting from the mind is like the peon in Government office taking decisions and referring to Intellect is like the officer taking decisions.

Finally actions (Karma) is through the 5 action organs such as hands, legs, vocal chord, excretion organs & reproductive organs. All these 'Karmas' are driven by "DESIRE".
