Mind

It is the mind which is the source of all misery. Left free and without any activity, it creates nothing but confusion. A mind which has no activity to focus on will inevitably breed mischief and misery. Hence the importance of activity.

All suffering and all misery is of the mind alone. Hence, the most important task is to control the mind. Left uncontrolled, the mind will play havoc. To control the mind, become aware of this moment. Watch how being present automatically reduces the mind momentum. Become aware of awareness. Let awareness enter. This automatically slows down the mind and brings it under control. Focused activity can also control the mind.

Slow down the mind consciously. Stop believing everything it says. Be aware.
Awareness is powerful. The mind is automatically stilled when awareness arises.
When the mind is stilled, awareness becomes stronger.

In perfect awareness, the mind is lost. This alone is peace.

Be rooted in awareness. Control the mind. Bliss is yours now.
