160. Regressive

Madal:

Chinmoy, very often a seeker's mind is regressive, in spite of his heart being progressive. Is the seeker responsible for that?

Chinmoy:

Madal, to some extent he is. His mind is going backwards because consciously or unconsciously he is cherishing doubt and jealousy. His heart is going forwards because consciously he is aspiring to increase divine love and divine dedication in his nature.
