According to Sahaj Yoga, the most precious idea for keeping the intellect and the mind in balance is “connecting the attention (Chitta) with the Self and attaining Thoughtless Awareness.”
When our attention turns away from the outer world and moves inward, the conflict between the intellect and the mind comes to an end.
⚖️ Why does imbalance between the intellect and mind occur?
Excess intellect (Right Side/Pingala Nadi): When we think too much, make constant plans for the future, and search for logic in everything. This increases stress and ego.
Excess mind/emotions (Left Side/Ida Nadi): When we get carried away by emotions, remain lost in memories of the past, and become slaves to desires. This leads to lethargy and depression.
🕊️ Precious teachings and principles of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
According to Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the founder of Sahaj Yoga, the main principles for balancing the intellect and mind are as follows:
The Self is the ultimate truth: You are not this body, mind, intellect, or emotions. You are only a pure soul. When you accept this truth, both the ego of the intellect and the restlessness of the mind become calm.
Keep your attention on the Sahasrara: Always keep your attention on the upper part of the head (Sahasrara Chakra). This brings peace to the attention and quiets thoughts.
Live in the present: The mind runs toward the past and the intellect runs toward the future.
Balance exists only in the “present moment,” which naturally happens through Kundalini energy after Self-Realization.
Thoughtless Awareness: A meditative state in which there are no thoughts within you, yet you remain completely aware. In this state, the mind and intellect achieve perfect balance.
🧘 Practical steps to achieve balance (Daily Practices)
Self-Realization: First awaken your Kundalini energy.
Daily meditation: Sit quietly every morning and evening for 10–15 minutes with the spine straight and meditate.
Footsoaking: Every night, place your feet in warm salt water. This process absorbs the excess heat (stress) of the mind and intellect.
Prayer for balance: During meditation, place your right hand on the heart and your left hand toward the sky, and pray for your mind and intellect to become balanced.
When the Kundalini energy passes through the central channel (Sushumna), it establishes a person in the present. After this, the intellect becomes discerning and the mind becomes completely peaceful and joyful.
Laziness is a hollow trap that devours both the present and the future. If you truly want to fulfill your dreams, become active starting today. Trust your abilities, work hard, and improve your life. Remember, success kisses the feet of those who make good use of time, not those who remain drowned in laziness. Rise, awaken, and move toward a better tomorrow in your life.
