When One's Mind Is Still, It Will Be Clear and Elevated
Today is the 18th day of this Rains-Retreat which is the season for attaining the Dhamma where the monks can see the Dhammakaya, the novice monks can see the Dhammakaya, and the lay devotees can see the Dhammakaya. The Dhammakaya can be found at the seventh base in the center of one's body at two fingers' width above one's navel. The code for this position is 072. It is where one's highest refuge can be found.
This is the season that everyone must endeavor to practice keeping his mind still and quiet until he can attain the Dhammakaya. And then everyone will be able to see the Dhammakaya, the monks, the novice monks, the Upasaka, the Upasika, and the Inner Dreams kindergarteners worldwide. It is necessary that one keeps one's mind still. The stiller one's mind is, the clearer it will be. The clearer one's mind is, the more elevated it will be. The more elevated one's mind is, the closer one will be to the Path and Fruit of Nibbana.
Try observing your mind to see from the time you get up until the time you go to bed whether or not your mind is elevated. You can measure this by looking at all of your activities, all the things that come out of your thoughts, words, and deeds, and all the thoughts that come to your mind.
What you say or what you do is the tool that can be used to measure whether or not your mind is clear. People in general think mostly about earning a living, earning money, accumulating material wealth, spending money, and the things that they enjoy doing. There are things that prevent their mind from being clear; things like hard liquor, beer, cigarettes, drug,gambling, fun and games, etc.
All sorts of things in their life prevent their mind from being clear. One's mind must be clear for it to be elevated. This is an important point to remember.
