Liberation from the mind

What is most fundamental is not our external circumstatnces.

The most fundamental is our state of mind.

And even more is awareness of being.

To be aware is to be awake.

When one is awake, all delusions are destroyed.

To control the mind is the greatest achievement.

To destroy the mind is the supreme liberation.

Mind turmoil

Thoughts are continuously spewed by the mind like vapor from boiling water. Incessantly this mind works and keeps spewing thoughts.

Thoughts being like vapor and completely ungraspable cannot be dealt with. And this creates tremendous turmoil.

It is impossible to deal with the mind. One might as well try to punch a hole through space.

Desire is what fuels the mind. Desire is the fuel for the mind.

When desire is absent, the mind is quiet.

A quiet mind itself is liberation.

To believe in the reality of the world creates desire.

Remove this notion that the world is real.

One alone exists.

Consciousness itself is the world.

Ignorance of this is the sole cause of turmoil.

Obsession

One tiny thought is all it takes and finally you find yourself overwhelmed with it.

Like a snowball rolling down a steep slope, once set into motion, it keeps growing onto itself and eventually consumes the mind.

Treat every small thought with caution else it becomes and obsession.

There is no escape from obsession.

It can lead to ruin.

The only cure is to seek refuge.

Love

The only thing that matters in the end is love.

Love is the purpose of life.

The absence of love is the only darkness.

Without love, even to exist would be a burden.

Non-existence is preferable to the absence of love.

Love alone matters.

If there is God and if there is any meaning to life, it can only be Love.

Pure consciousness alone

I would like to remind all of us about this central truth:

No matter what the external circumstances in life, I am Pure Consciousness alone.

I am neither body nor mind

I am Pure Consciousness.

Just be aware of this alone.

That is all. 

Thought

Let us discuss the mind today.

If you have ever observed the mind, it will be noticed that there is always some thought passing through.
If you are reading this, some thoughts are passing through the mind.

Have you ever been conscious of no thought at all. It seems that even 'no-thought' is also a thought.

To have 'no-thoughts', you need to first have a thought about it. It is indeed strange that when ever you go looking for the mind, all that is found is only a thought.

Thoughts always passing by. Some thoughts are so dense, they seem like a real condition. It is forgotten that it is only a thought. For example: One may think that 'I am a failure', and forget that this is just a thought. "I am a failure' is not a real condition. Infact, the mind or thoughts do not deal with real conditions. 'Real condition' itself is a thought.

So, if we go a little deeper, we find that all we are really dealing with here are merely thoughts. We never deal with anything directly. To think of something is to create it at that instant.

So, then the thought comes that 'I am tormented by thoughts'. Is this real or also merely a thought?

It is very easy to forget that all we ever deal with are merely thoughts. Not reality. Or whatever that is.

Infact, this entire process that we are going through is also another thought.

So then the question arises that is it possible to ever go beyond thought?

'Am I capable of ever going beyond thought?' Note that this is also a thought.

So it seems that our situation is futile and no matter how hard we try, we cannot escape the confines of thought.

But this itself is also a thought. So then the thought occurs, 'To whom do these thoughts occur?' Or 'Who is the 'I' to whom these thoughts occur?' 'Who am 'I'?'

Notice one thing, wherever a thought is present, an 'I' is also present.

So who is this 'I' to whom the thoughts occur?

At this point, it is impossible to say anything. If the 'I' is just a thought, nothing more can be said.

One alone is.

Peace.

Evil

If the One that IS is already perfect and is untouched by anything happening in the world, then there is absolutely no need to change anything about yourself.

Your being an evil person is of absolutely no consequence to the Absolute one.

The One remains always as One. And in this lies the perfect redemption of every sin even before it is committed.
