thoughts traverse our minds and move out, then our mind becomes peaceful. It becomes clean. This cleanliness is experience. This is our conscious experience. When thoughts are subdued, then conscious experience rises. The one who does not meditate, who has not gone through the process of appeasing the mind of thoughts will never be able to have a clean and peaceful consciousness. How many bullock carts traverse the river? But the number that traverse the mind far exceeds the number the sum total of all the bullock carts in the world. With thoughts how can we make our conscious pure and clean? This is possible only when thoughts are emptied out. We learn to move away from thoughts and remain in a thoughtless state. The only solution to arrest thoughts is meditation. Only when we go into the depths of meditation is this possible. And meditation cannot be carried out without anekanta. Without anekanta the purpose and utility of meditation cannot also be explained.”
Everything is possible in anekanta
There is nothing like impossible in the world of anekanta. It is possible for children, for youngsters
