The human mind is a collection of experiences. These spread all over our memory and try to control us. The conflict of these experience between the two extremes, good and bad, is what we assume as concience. This conscience only rule our thoughts, actions and ideas.
The one with clear thoughts remains as the best person and the one with confused thoughts remains as the loser. Though the mind is responsible for the growth or fall of an individual, the reason behind it lies in the above mentioned experiences.
Paambaatti Siththar explains the same in a simpler way in the following song.
"சூரியனைக் கணட பனி தூர ஓடல்போல்
sooriyanaik kanda pani thoora oadalpoal
சொந்த பந்தஞ் சிந்தபரி சத்த தலத்தில்
sontha panthanj sinthapari saththa thalaththil
சூரியனைக் கண்டுதரி சித்தே அன்புடன்
sooriyanaik kanduthari siththae anbudan
அகலாமல் பற்றித் தொர்டந்து ஆடாய் பாம்பே!
akalaamal patrith thrdanthu aadaai paambae!
- பாம்பாட்டிச் சித்தர் (Paambaatti Siththar)
Snow is thicker like smoke. Through that anything cannot be seen clearly. This is known as the snow screen. But this screen of snow will disappear when the sunlight appears.
Our mind is surrounded by desires and illusions. We have to realize the Supreme Being in mind and get rid of all the desires and get away from illusions, like the snow that gets disappeared due to the sun light.
Like the snow that gets disappeared due to the sunlight, the mind should also realize the Supreme Being and get rid of the virtual screen that surrounds the mind says Paambaatti Siththar.
