WHAT IS MIND?

Well, from where to start talking about mind? 

We live in a society that has lost its touch with the real thing. We live in a society where everything we do is followed by what our head says. We live in a society where we have lost connection with our instincts and nature. The moment we are up in the morning, the chatter starts in our head. Not only we believe this chatter, we think this is who we are.

A thought says to turn left, we follow.

A thought tells you are guilty, we believe it.

A thought says he's not a good person, we start criticising and so on.

We have given this person talking in our head so much authority that we have stopped asking the real question, who am I?  We have started believing the talk to be the only real thing in the world. Not only we think that the one doing the talking is real but we believe that is it who am I. 

How can it be you when you are the one observing it. How can it be you when you know it's a separate voice that's doing the talking in your head. You can only observe what's separate to you. If you are inside the bottle you cannot read the label that's outside of the bottle but when you are outside of the bottle, you can read the label and see what's inside the bottle. You know somewhere that you are not the mind, you are not the one doing talking but still you have never questioned it. When are you going to ask the real question? WHEN?

Half of your life is gone listening to this person and what's remaining will go in the same way. What has this person given to you till now?

Have you really experienced true joy? 

Have you really been in bliss for most of your time in a day? 

My friend, when are you going to ask the real question, Why are you wasting your life?

It will not surprise you but still let me say this. Your mind doesn't care about you. It doesn't feel for you and it doesn't want you to be free because it is a field of thoughts, images and perceptions. It takes all the energy from you for its own survival. The moment you starts observing your mind, it gets scared and makes you lose your attention. Why? Because the moment you are present, mind returns to its original place of being a servant. The mind has tasted freedom for so long that it has became the master of your life and you are the servant. The power of your mind lies in distractions, problems, solutions, entertainment, food, media etc. 

May be now you know why you have a week attention span. May be now you know why you go from one thing to another in your head. Your mind can take a whole circle of the world but cannot remain here because HERE-NOW is the death of the mind and he keeps you distracted in THERE-THEN.

May be my friend you will start asking the real question. May be you are now seeing the voice in your head as a seperate entity. You are not seeking many things, but FREEDOM. Yes, freedom from your mind. 

The day you become two in your inner world "the observer and the observed", 

the day you are not believing your every thought, 

the day you start separating your mind from you, transformation will happen.

Understanding creates transformation.
