what is order in the mind?

[saurab]

Order in the mind is an uncontradictable network of thoughts, good or evil, about some aspect of phenomena that is meaningful to the mind. To create greater order is the goal of all intelligent educative systems and when the mind is presented with greater truth, the unconscious mind starts comparing each thought of the greater order of truth with each thought of the previous inferior order of truth.

If the greater order of truth is successful in completely contradicting all aspects of the inferior network of thoughts, then there is a complete change in perception regarding that aspect of phenomena. Otherwise there is insoluble conflict. This is the basis for gradually releasing greater and greater truths to a student that the student's unconscious mind will ACCEPT.

But in a less intelligent mind, this conflict will not be produced and the higher truth will be accepted more or less blindly as long as the major thoughts of the inferior order are contradicted by the higher order, because his mind will not have the capacity to find subtle contradictions.

We, nor science, knows what intelligence is. For me, the one thing I can point to that has helped me be successful, is having an organized life. Organization and order are one and the same, we start by organizing our inner life and then our outer life follows.

Every aspect of our mind must be involved in that order, especially our attitude. Attitude directs our actions; it also directs our attention. Attention is how we grow our life. For better or worst, what we give our attention to, what we concentrate on, will grow.

Attention, memory, imagination, and attitude, are major aspects of the human mind. How we use, or not use, these aspects, determines the order of our inner life. According to Yogic philosophy there are certain modes of the mind which may be considered “evil” or destructive.

Listed below are those modes of mind, with their Sanskrit names in bold:
KAM = Passion allowed to run into lust, and abnormal demand. We grow like that which we contemplate. Kam binds us to the animal plane.

KROFT = Anger and hate. A mental carcinoma. Anger causes confusion to scatter the mind from the center. Slander, fault finding, jealousy, destructive criticism, etc. are the “pups” of anger. Never criticize, find fault, abuse or blame anyone. When you speak ask yourself, is it true, necessary, and kind.

LOFT = Greed. This binds us to the mineral plane, lower than the animal plane, and creates a God of gold and silver for us. While Kam degrades us, Kroft consumes us, and Loft hardens us.

MOFT = Undo attachment to things. This will use up your time on earth and take you away from higher affairs. It makes you a slave to the lower planes. The liberation of the soul is what you are here for, nothing else matters. Moft will keep you from this freedom.

AHANKAR = Vanity or egoism. Ahankar grows on the action of the other four perversions. Vanity operates with boasting long after the other four perversions have died. It is the source of error in humanity; it loudly says I am right and all others are wrong.

According to ancient yogic philosophy these are the five most destructive modes which can bring about disorder in the human mind.
