PSYCHOLOGY 6
Conditions of the Mind
The mind has three conditions, Jelal, Jemal and Kemal.
Jelal is that state when a person thinks of what he will do, when he is planning what to do, when he thinks, "I should start a soap-factory," or "I should learn this thing." Then the mind is in its full force, there is the strength of the thought.
Jemal is when a person thinks of what he has done. He thinks, "I went to the British Museum and I saw so many beautiful jewels and books and beautiful statues."
Kemal has two conditions. - Either there is no thought at all in the mind. This is for the mystic only, because he practices it.
- Or no thought is intentionally formed and we take the first thought that comes into the mind and do that.
If we could always do this we should need no other guidance, we should not need to learn very much, we should know all things directly, because this knowledge comes direct from the Universal Consciousness. Do you not think that He Who has the experience of all things and all ages, can know more than any person can learn in his short life?
