Self-surveillance means balancing the hypo and the hyper nervousness of the mind. Mind is a fallacy to mind itself. It is unable to define its own nature.
Vedanta speaks of mind as non-existent when we firmly believe that it does not exist. So the stress of the statement is on ‘we’ rather than on the ‘mind’.
Mind is nothing but a person’s own creation in relation to the way he relates himself or herself to the society. Because in the process of ‘relating’ one of the most dangerous concepts of this universe ‘duality’ does arises and thus ‘mind’ with its venomous spits of ‘thought ways’ too will come to apparent existence.
In essence, the mind means ‘dual’; it is a combination of positive and negative thoughts supplemented with bombardments of ‘contradictions’.
For mind the whole existence is related to its process of relativity. It wants to ‘suck’ everything and ‘relate’ with everything else.
Mind divides the oneness of the universe into its likes and dislikes. Further it adds the concept of ‘love’ with likable and ‘hate’ with dislikable. Furthermore, it adds sub-concepts like ‘possession’ with what it loves and ‘repulsion’ with what it really hates. Then, ‘possession’ will be followed by ‘over possessions’ and ‘repulsion’ by ‘agitations and attacks’.
The fallacy of mind leads us into further fissions. It is the way ‘the ever flux’ mind grows; and along with that ontogeny we will lose our peace and tranquility.
Peace lies in unity whereas mind works only in multiplicity.
No mind is ‘unity’, say the masters.
