Query:
The Difference Between Mann and Antarmann? Antarmann is Stable wheras Mann is
not...
Vijay
Kumar:
The Antarmann
of every Human being is not only stable but it has all the powers of God in a
minuscule form. A grain of sand can be considered as an "Atman" and the whole
mound of sand called as "Parmatman", Karta or God, the omnipotent Creator. The
voice coming out of our mouth is nothing but the voice of our Atman soul, our
true real self-residing in our heart. Only when we give a patient hearing to the
small still inner voice coming from our Antarmann, our atman the soul within does
it guide us on the right path.
Our
Mann is extremely erratic in nature... it has to be kept in control all the time
if we need to achieve success and reach the goal of life. Establishing absolute
control over the Mann is possible only after we have established control over
the five senses. The Mann of every living being is by nature uncontrollable. Multitudes
of thoughts pass through our brain every second of life... and it seems we have
absolutely no control over it. These uninvited thoughts play havoc in our life.
We easily get diverted from our goal of life due to the flow of these erratic
thoughts.
As we
need a capable rider to win the race... the winning being made possible by the
control exercised by the rider on the horse through the reins. These reins helped
us control the horse, as we desired. Similarly, every Human being is required
to control the flow of thoughts that is created by the erratic behavior of the
mind. The moment absolute control over the senses and the mind gets established...
we experience the stage of Nirvikalpa Samadhi... the stage when everything within
our brain gets stilled. This experience of nothingness is nothing but pure bliss.
As is advocated by the Spiritual masters of today that we must always try to hear
the voice of the Antarmann and abide by it... does it mean they are refereeing
to our Mann? No. They are refereeing to our Antarmann, our atman the soul within.
The actions of our Mann are prompted by our ego whereas Antarmann directly relates
to the cosmic power within us. It is as stable as the God Almighty.
Only after gaining absolute
control over the power of the mind (mann) that we step into the domains of our
Antarmann. It is the mind power that is the communication link between all atmans
(souls) in the cosmos. Without the power of the mind... the complete cosmos would
become meaningless. Everything would become stone dead. It is only the mind power...
the power of the Mann... writing which a human being rises to the levels of a
Buddha or Lord
Krishna himself.
Control
of the mind (mann) is the last step on the path to god
realization apart from practicing absolute celibacy for a continuous
period of 12 years. If we do that... gaining enlightenment and finally salvation
(moksha in Hinduism) is not far behind. Establishing control over the Mann is
the most difficult part in the life of a serious spiritual seeker. One can gain
control on the senses by practicing austerities continually but to gain control
over Mann takes the hell out of a being.
To cut short cosmic journey... we need to give one Agni pariksha after another.
In the last about 150 years only two persons have realized God... they were Sri
Ramakrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana.

Thank you for the
concepts big bang and poonarjanma. You
write- "Regarding the
man and the mind, you're confusing man with Antarmann. It is Antarmann, which
has the power of discrimination ... Antarmann, is a word used to describe our
atman the soul within ... our consciousness. Whether we call it Antarmann ...
consciousness ... Atman or soul ... they are all one and the same. Heart is the
temple of our body and therein resides our atman, the soul within. It communicates
with the other Atmans through brain, which acts as a receiver and transmitter
of thoughts."
As
you written that Antarmann is nothing but Atman. But it is wellknown that Atman
is most stable thing. It never change and it is not bound by anything. Then how
we can relate antramann with Atman. As attramann is not stable. We have poet in
marathi by SHANTA SHELKE. 'MANN VADHAY, MANN VADHAY, ' I don't remember that one
but meaning is that it is not stable. At one moment it think of India. At next
moment it is in USA. So how one can relate antramann with Atman. As atman is going
to be stable it is not related at all with body.
