Once, the Mind (Asura) and the Soul (Deva) stirred the ocean of consciousness in their quest for fulfillment. Initially, Poison (Negativity, Ego) emerged. The Mind disseminated it, causing chaos, yet the Soul absorbed it without harm.
Next came Desires (Kamadhenu), Pride (Ucchaishravas), Power (Airavata), and Ego (Kaustubha). The Mind grasped these, believing they were treasures, but they only intensified its illusions.
Pleasures (Apsaras) kept the Mind distracted and restless. The Moon (Chandra) brought forth emotions—sometimes calm, sometimes chaos.
The Soul, with patience and wisdom, welcomed Healing (Dhanvantari) and Inner Peace (Lakshmi), understanding that true wealth lies within.
At last, Nectar (Amrit, Ultimate Truth) emerged. The Mind, in its greed, reached for it, but it eluded its grasp. Only when the Mind surrendered to the Soul did it finally attain the nectar of bliss.
✨Lesson: The Mind seeks fulfillment externally, while the Soul seeks it internally. True peace is achieved when the Mind aligns with the Soul.
