It is like the magnetic power of the body - the body is like the magnet and the power of the body is the mind. I could be sitting in a closed room, but the mind will go out. You have to control the mind, because it can go and roam about, but it can be used if you control it. Let me explain further. The mind is like a gate that stops everything, like the gates of a dam.
Water is the energy, but that energy is still be controlled by the gate, which is the mind.
So without the mind, the energy simply flows and completely engulfs your life. But if the mind is there, the energy will be blocked. So if you actually want to have more experience, you won t get more, you ll get less, because of the mind. If you re selfish for God, if God becomes the prime target in your life, then you will have no selfishness for the world or worldly things. All through meditation - meditation is the key.
