Swami Mukundananda
How can I use my intellect to become detached from something my mind clings to?
Convince the intellect and the mind lets go
Once the intellect is convinced, it exerts its ability over the mind. This ability to control the mind has been given to human beings, not to animals.
One unreliable person gave one sentence, 'there's poison in it,' and you became detached. What created the detachment? It was our intellect: once it was convinced, it exerted its ability over the mind.
