Whenever we are not in the present moment, we are giving our power away. Our attention is
everywhere but Here.
It is very easy to be controlled by the mind. To harness this
great vehicle is to be present and aware; to not be swayed
by the winds and storms of life. This in turn allows us to
live a powerful existence.
I am reminded of Ganesh, the elephant god of Hinduism,
riding a small mouse as his vehicle. Ganesh is the remover
of obstacles. His presence can be likened to our
Unlimited Self. And his mouse, which he rides so
gracefully, can represent the mind, or the small self,
(the ego). This legendary image displays a healthy
relationship between our soul and our mind.
The mind becomes a useful and powerful tool when
consciously driven
by the soul.
Om Gan Ganapati Namaha
