A mountain climber suddenly slips while climbing a hill. At the last second he manages to grab the cliff and hangs on, holding onto it with one hand. So he is begging the Creator “Help me”, and the Creator tells him “I will help you, just let go. What are you afraid of ? I will help you, you are in My hands”.
How can a person replace his mind when he knows by all reason that he will fall if he releases his hand? How can he replace his mind with the Creator’s mind that is saying, “Let go. You are asking me – here is My advice. You called Me for help – I came for you. Let go!” How can I let go before I receive help from the Creator in a different way, egoistically real for me? Where can I find the power to replace my mind with the mind of the Higher? He is called a Higher mind because he is opposite to my level. He is a greater bestowal; there is a gap between my animal attributes and His attributes.
I will not be able to absorb the Higher mind directly. This is why I need an environment, meaning that if I find a good environment, then my thoughts and actions will automatically become the same as the ones adopted in that environment.
