Can you not tell when the nature of the mind becomes spoiled? Surely you
can. If an old lady were to come to your home and nag all day long for
fifteen days, you would get used to her if you did not get into a conflict
with her. Similarly, you have to become used to the constant bombardment
of cues that arise in your mind. As it is, your inability to look at the
mind has resulted in your inability to recognize what kind of a bomb is
detonating within. All kinds of ammunition have become mixed up. You
believe that they are harmless sparklers, but they detonate like
firecrackers. Similarly, the mind is full of all kinds of things and they
detonate accordingly. But just like dealing with the old lady, if You do
not interfere with the mind, then You will get used to it. Your
relationship with the mind, chit, intellect, and ego is that of the Knower
and the known (gnata-gneya). It
is a relationship between the Knower and the known, and not one of
matrimony. Therefore, You can remain separate from it.
