How does our mind work?
How does our mind work? Shree Krishna explains that anger, greed, lust, etc. are considered in the Vedic scriptures as diseases of the mind. We are all aware of the diseases of the body—even a single bodily ailment has the power to make one’s whole day miserable—but we do not realize that we are being continuously tormented by multiple ailments of the mind. And since we do not recognize lust, anger, greed, etc. as mental diseases, we do not try to cure them. Psychology is a branch of human knowledge that attempts to analyze these ailments and proposes how to solve them. Swami Mukundananda points out that both the analysis and the solution presented by western psychology leave much to be desired, and appear to be gross approximations of the reality of the mind.

In these 2 verses, Shree Krishna has given perfect and penetrating insight into functioning of the mind. He explains that when we repeatedly contemplate that there is happiness in some object, the mind becomes attached to it. Now attachment seems quite innocuous by itself. But the problem is that from attachment comes desire. If one is attached to drinks, the desire for drinks comes repeatedly to the mind. If one is attached to cigarettes, then thoughts of the pleasure of smoking cigarettes repeatedly flow in the mind, creating a craving for them. In this way, attachment leads to desire. Once desire develops, it gives birth to two more problems—greed and anger. Greed comes from the fulfillment of desire. Thus desire is never eliminated by satiating it:
On the flip side what happens if the fulfillment of desire is obstructed? It gives rise to anger. Bear in mind that anger does not arise by itself. It is created from the obstruction of desire; and desire arises from attachment, while attachment comes from contemplation of the sense objects. In this manner, we see how the simple act of contemplating the pleasures of sense objects leads downward to the twin diseases of greed and anger.
Anger impairs judgment. In anger, people commit mistakes that they later regret, because the intellect gets clouded by the haze of emotions. When the intellect is clouded, it leads to bewilderment of memory. The person then forgets what is right and what is wrong, and flows along with the surge of emotions. The downward descent continues from there, and bewilderment of memory results in destruction of the intellect. And since the intellect is the internal guide, when it gets destroyed, one is ruined. In this manner, the path of descent from divinity to impiety has been described beginning with contemplation on the sense objects to the destruction of the intellect.
In this video, Swami Mukundananda also reveals the solution to get out of the vicious cycle of attachment, greed and desire. Swamiji explains that when we repeatedly contemplate that true happiness is only in God (instead of in material things, people etc), we will get attached to God and start desiring Him. Since God is all-pure, this will result in purification of our mind and we will get rid of the diseases of the mind.
