therefore, should be given to the equanimous vision. It will end all conflicts and controversies and disentangle the consciouness.
For the development of this vision a constant and continuous internal observation is required as to what extent the equanimity and inequanimity persists inside and outside. When willful efforts will be made to minimise the Inequanimity and so maximise the equanimity then the internal and external circumstances would be favourable for the strong activity of consciouness.
Open the Knots of Inner-mind :
The Sun is self shining. The soul is supposed to be more lightful than the sun. Why is then its consciousness so flickering and capricious ? In forgetting its real nature the soul forgets its real power and becomes inefficient. It becomes a prey of these things on which it ought to rule. This type of slavery increases with the growth of self-immersion and the mind is under the clutches of complexes. In order to unlock these complexes of the mind, the consciouness is to be disentangled.
The representation of inequanimity as these complexes (knots) are, they obstruct the natural flow of thoughts and unless unlocked fully the equanimous consciousness cannot emerge, All efforts made externally are in vain because the inner knots of mind are not opened. The failure of all political, social and religious efforts to make a man happy, is for this alone reason that inner complexes of mind are not released and simplified. In the absence of spiritual control, the physical progress has contributed to self-forgetfulness. Man finds himself in unbounded desires
