‘Never be friends with mind’, says Lord Rishbh. Once some demigoddesses of special powers, with which miracles can be performed, approached him.
Lord Rishbh asked,’Why are you here?’
‘In your service Sir!’
‘Who called you?’
‘We came of our own because you are a devotee and we would like to have opportunity to serve you.’
Lord Rishabh shouted, ‘Stay away, Stay away!’

Under the influence of these demigoddesses soul gets powers to perform miracles like becoming so heavy that no crane can lift, becoming so light that can be blown away by a small current of air, vanishing into the air from any spot, telling the exact thinking of others mind and so on. With the possession of such powers soul feels as if he is God himself and goes on displaying his powers to all. One day all powers cease because they have quantitative limitations being under the finite realm. Thus soul loses from both the fronts, his spiritual progress is reversed and whatever he gained in the form of celestial powers is also gone. These powers are like a wife who collude with her lover to kill the husband. No one would like to have a servant who kills the master.

But, mind is extremely fond of all these powers. Which shows that interests of mind are in direct opposition to interests of soul.

Therefore it is said that ‘Never be friends with mind.’
