The Big Mind

You know there is a big mind and a small mind. Sometimes the Big Mind wins over the small mind, and sometimes it is the other way around.

When the small mind wins over, it is misery; when the Big Mind wins, it is joy. The small mind promises joy and leaves your hand empty. The Big Mind may bring a resistance in the beginning but later fills you with joy.

Jai means victory.

Guru means great.

Deva means the Divine who is fun-loving, playful, light.

Jai Guru Dev means victory to the Greatness in you, victory to the Big Mind in you that is both dignified and playful.

Usually one who is playful is not dignified, and one who is dignified is not playful. But the Divine in you – the Big Mind –is both together.

Jai Guru Dev need not be thought of as victory to the Master. Rather, it is victory to your own Self, your own Big Mind over the wailing small mind.
