My key to a happpy and successful life began when I tried to find my mind. Where is my mind, I could not find. I discovered that my mind was only
MIND: Misery, Ignorance, Negativity and Desire.
It was nothing but a bundle of toxic thoughts that troubled me like a monkey, jumping into yesterday and tomorrow, creating misery and sorrow.
Discovering That There Is No Mind
If we try to find the mind, where is the mind, we cannot find. The mind is nothing but a bundle of toxic thoughts. It appears to exist but in reality, nobody has seen the mind. Have you ever seen it? What is its colour, shape or size? You don’t know! Nobody knows because nobody has seen the mind. Still, it creates a miserable grind! It drills us and kills us with repeated thoughts of fear, worry, stress and anxiety. The moment we realize that there is no mind, we overcome all its miseries.
How To Find Peace Of Mind
Peace, we don’t have to find. Peace is within. We must still our mind. Unfortunately, we cannot find the mind. Therefore, it becomes difficult to still it. We must remember that where there is a piece of mind, even a tiny piece, there can be no peace of mind.
Going Within
To find peace of mind, we don’t have to go on a search. Peace is within. We have to still the mind. Every human being has nine doors, nine openings but they are all looking outside — eyes, nose, ears, mouth and organs of excretion and reproduction. Unless we make a conscious effort to shut these doors from constantly taking us into the outside world, we will never be able to go within and experience peace. Because of so much noise that is on the outside, we do not hear the Divine voice that is inside.
Making The Monkey, A Monk
As long as the mind within us is jumping from a yesterday to a tomorrow, we will continue to live with misery and sorrow. Therefore, the monkey mind needs to become a monk.
How do we tame the monkey mind and make it a monk? We cut the monkey’s tail, the EY. The MonkEY is EY, Ever-Yelling and Ever-Yearning. It is always creating noises and desires. How can we be at peace? The moment we stop the monkey from its Ever-Yelling and Ever-Yearning, we become a silent monk. Then we will be able to live peacefully. It is unfortunate that most of us let our monkey mind become a gorilla.
BBC — Bring Back Consciousness
It is common for the rascal mind to return like a Phoenix and rob us of our peace. In fact, it is the mind that steals our peace. What is the solution? Bring Back Consciousness.
How can we come back to Consciousness? First, we must become aware that we have been captured by the mind. Then, immediately, we must be still, withdraw our senses and go within. We must move from a state of mind to a state of Consciousness.
Far more important than anything else in this world is peace, for peace is the very foundation of Happpiness. But as long as we let our mind ride our life horse, we are no more the boss.
When there is a piece of Mind,
There can be no Peace of Mind.
