Broaden your vision and deepen your roots

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:  So what is mind? Are you listening? Are you aware that you are reading right now?  If your eyes are open and your ears are of course open, sound anyways goes into your ears but if your mind is elsewhere, can you listen? No! Isn’t it? So this mind is that through which you perceive, you feel, correct! That, which goes out through the five senses and experiences, is mind.
Okay! So if you experience through mind then what is intellect? As you experience you say, ‘oh, this is good, this is not good, I want this, I don’t want that’. You know intellect is the judging or discriminating aspect. As you are reading this, your mind is saying, ‘well, I don’t like it’ or ‘I believe it’ or ‘I don’t believe it’, you are going into a dialogue, this is intellect; Whether you agree with me or you disagree with me, it doesn’t matter – but are you aware, you are agreeing or disagreeing? This matters a lot.
