Swami Vivekananda viewed the mind as a powerful instrument capable of both great good and great harm, and he emphasized the importance of controlling and directing it
Key aspects of Swami Vivekananda’s view on the mind:
Nature of the Mind: Vivekananda described the mind as being like a lake with waves (thoughts) constantly rising and falling, some becoming finer and finer, but never truly disappearing.
Planes of the Mind: He identified three planes of mental activity: subconscious, conscious, and superconscious, with Yoga aiming to go beyond the conscious mind.
Control of the Mind: Vivekananda stressed the importance of controlling the mind through persistent effort and practice, as it is crucial for spiritual growth and self-realization.
