Body, individual mind, and Mind

Master Kosen – Published on June 15 – emotions

Question

Master, I am going through a time of change, and I have had certain feelings I would like you to clarify. I feel that from one perspective the body and each person's individual mind are one, but that the universal Mind is behind them, as though it were the source of everything. I also feel that when my mind is worried and agitated, it completely obscures the joy of this Mind beyond it, which wants only to flow into my being at every moment. Is that how it is? And if not, could you explain their relationship? Thank you, Sensei. Domo arigato!
