The Quiet Mind
Speaker: Henry Kashouty
Date: July 1988
Time: 66 Minutes
Location: Los Angeles Sahavas
The discussion of this talk centers around Henry Kashouty’s
understanding of a number of Baba’s words, sayings, and messages.
During the Q&A, Henry shares his story of his first meeting
with Baba in New York, 1956. Here are some examples of Henry’s
understanding:
Baba says “Be cheerful”. Henry goes further by explaining
if you are cheerful for any other reason than Baba, then you are
doing it for the ego. Baba tells us to be positive. We must do it
for Baba.
Conviction – Conviction is a gift from God and is given when
the soul ready. Conviction means you already have the nazar of the
master and to not have to be thrown from one extreme experience
to another. This means you are removed from the path of impersonal
karma.
Balance of heart and mind – The heart has to dictate the
policy and the mind to implement it. An awakened heart is creative.
Just saying hello is creative when the heart is awakened.
Remember Me – To think of Baba is to be desireless. Baba
says put Me first. You hear the heart by remembering Baba. Anything
that reminds you of Baba is good. Paradise is here by remembering
Baba but we are distracted by other things.
Henry summarizes his understanding of Baba messages by saying Baba
gave us one message: Remember me, Obey me, Love me, and Surrender
to My will.
The title of this video comes from Henry Kashouty’s own practice
of finding Baba within by quieting the mind.
