Repairing The Engine Of Your Consciousness

You can spend your life driving a car and never know what's wrong when it
breaks down. You are then completely at the mercy of others to repair it. At
that moment you probably think to yourself, "God, I wish I knew how this
thing works..." Sounds familiar? Unfortunately, God cannot help with car
mechanics!
It's almost the same with your inner "self". The presence of any stress, or
any form of mental/emotional pain, is a signal that something has broken
down inside the engine of your consciousness. If at that moment you don't
know who you are, and how you work, how will you repair things in the inner
self when they break down? We are not talking about the body here. If you
have something seriously wrong with your body you obviously need to see a
doctor. But even then, if you are a little enlightened spiritually, you know
that the original cause of your physical disease lies within your
consciousness, your state of mind, your feelings and emotions, which, in
turn, lies in your beliefs, most of which lie deep down in your
subconscious. So, if repairs are to be carried inside your consciousness (to
keep the mind and body functioning smoothly) you need to know certain things
- essential things - about your spirit, mind and heart. That's what
spiritual knowledge is all about. Spiritual knowledge is the complete
knowledge of the spirit (or soul) and how it works. Fortunately, the Supreme
Spirit (or God) can help us with this knowledge, that he alone possesses!
