The Limitless Mind

If we compare the two entities - *mind* and *matter* - the most obvious
difference between the two that comes to the forefront is that one is
non-physical and the other is physical. Another very important difference
between the two is that whereas on one hand, *matter has limits*, in the
sense, that's *its fixed in time and space*. *The mind, on the other hand,
is beyond limits, in terms of physical parameters. It's not fixed in time
and space.*

When we take a close look at what is going on in our mind, its power
becomes visible to us. Since its not fixed in space, it can link me to a
friend in, as far as, Washington or Singapore in less than a second. My
mind can even move in many different directions at once. Since the mind is
not fixed in time, I can think about yesterday, or about fifteen years ago;
about tonight, or the next three years. That's the reason we can say that
the mind is limitless, hence powerful.

*Thoughts also have different levels of power.* Sometimes they fly past the
mind leaving hardly any impact on us. At other times, they are accompanied
by such feelings so as to influence our entire perception, even our
complete inner mental state. Thinking about a visit to Kashmir I made last
year, for e.g., I could find myself carried back mentally into the
beautiful experience and its attached emotions. Filled with happiness, I
will even radiate this happiness to others nearby, through my thoughts,
facial expressions, words and actions. On the other hand, thoughts about
the death of my close relative a few years ago will have an opposite impact
on me in the present moment.
