A Mind embracing the Universe
"But Breath needs a mind to embrace the Universe" - SD II, Stanza IV, sloka 17
The word man comes from Manas, a Sanskrit word that can be translated as 'mind'. Man is endowed with mind. We are thinkers. We become what we think.
Theosophy teaches: mind is sevenfold. Our mind has the capacity to embrace the universe. But how can we develop such a mind? And could that help us overcome problems such as polarization, racism and inequality?
