Diamond and the Red Velvet

Diamond and the Red Velvet

A diamond starts accepting the color of the surrounding velvet.

The red color in the diamond is due to its company of red velvet.

The same happens in deeper meditation.

When the mind comes in contact with the divine consciousness, it starts accepting its purity.

Just as Krishna transformed Arjun, consciousness transforms your subconscious mind and eventually your Bhav thoughts and actions.
Only when the diamond is empty of any color can it start accepting the velvet color.

If the diamond had a color of its own, it would not.

So, it is imperative in meditation to have an empty mind ( empty of all beliefs, ideas, concepts, convictions, and anything that has been derived from Sansar ).

“Yogas chitta vrtti nirodh “

– “Yog is abolishing all your tendencies.”

– Patanjali

Only then can we start accepting the “color” ( attributes ) of consciousness.
