In this journey of life this being has observed that now there are many other beings who have come to the juncture where they are stuck inside what we call MIND.
What is this MIND? Can we use this term as noun or verb? Only observation will help you realize this phenomenon call MIND. So observe it and find by yourself where are you really stuck.
Many beings have shared that,
"I am unable to take any decision".
"My tears are not stopping at all when I think of my past experiences what to do?"
"I am unable to sit in rest or be relaxed".
"I have done so many things in my life yet I am unsatisfied".
So who is this "I"?
Is it body?
Is it Mind?
What is it?
Whenever you use the term "I" be aware of it as when you will say "I" what actually it is?
If you are unable to decision then who is that you; body or mind is not able to take decision?
If you are unable to stop tears; who is that your body or mind?
Please check do some self-study dont seek any ready made answers for the questions which you have activated by yourself. The questions have come through you so answer will also come through you only. If you have created chaos then you only will bring some disciple no one else can bring it for you. So either stop questioning or stop seeking answers from others.
The word ”mind” covers all – your egos, your desires, your hopes, your philosophies, your religions, your scriptures. ”Mind” covers all. Whatsoever you can think is mind. All that is known, all that can be known, all that is knowable, is within mind.
What is the mind? What the mind is doing there? What it is? Ordinarily we think that mind is
something substantial there inside the head. No one who has ever known the insides of the mind will agree. Modern science also doesn’t agree. Mind is not something substantial inside the head. Mind is just a function, just an activity. You walk and I say, "I am walking". What is walking? If you stop, where is walking? If you sit down, where the walking has gone? Walking is nothing substantial; it is an activity. So while you are sitting, no one can ask, ”Where you have put your walking? Just now you were walking, so where the walking has gone?” You will laugh. You will say, ”Walking is not something substantial, it is just
an activity. I can walk. I can again walk and I can stop. It is activity.”
Mind is also activity, but because of the word ”mind”, it appears as if something substantial is there.
It is better to call it ”minding” – just like ”walking”. Mind means ”minding”, mind means thinking. It is
an activity.”
With a blissful blessings for your being this being now shares the story of Bodhidharm which may ignite you and help you come out where you are stuck.
Bodhidharm went to China, and the emperor of China went to see him. And the emperor said, ”My mind is
very uneasy, very disturbed. You are a great sage, and I have been waiting for you. Tell me what I
should do to put my mind at peace.”
Bodhidharma said, ”You don’t do anything. First you bring your mind to me.” The emperor could not
follow he said, ”What do you mean?” He said, ”Come in the morning at four o’clock when nobody is
there. Come alone, and remember to bring your mind with you.”
The emperor couldn’t sleep the whole night. Many times he cancelled the whole idea: ”This man
seems to be mad. What does he mean, ’Come with your mind; don’t forget?’” The man was so
enchanting, so charismatic that he couldn’t cancel the appointment. As if a magnet was pulling him,
at four o’clock he jumped out of the bed and said, ”Whatsoever happens, I must go. This man may
have something; his eyes say that he has something. Looks a little crazy, but still I must go and see
what can happen.”
So he reached, and Bodhidharma was sitting with his big staff. He said, ”So you have come? Where
is your mind? Have you brought it or not?”
The emperor said, ”You talk nonsense. When I am here my mind is here, and it is not something
which I can forget somewhere. It is in me.” So Bodhidharma said, ”Okay. So the first thing is decided
– that the mind is within you.” The emperor said, ”Okay, the mind is within me.” Bodhidharma said,
”Now close your eyes and find out where it is. And if you can find out where it is, immediately indicate
to me. I will put it at peace.”
So the emperor closed his eyes, tried and tried, looked and looked. The more he looked, the more
he became aware there is no mind, mind is an activity. It is not something there so you can pinpoint
it. But the moment he realized that it is not something, then the absurdity of his quest became
exposed to himself. If it is not something, nothing can be done about it. If it is an activity, then don’t
do the activity; that’s all. If it is like walking, don’t walk.
He opened his eyes. He bowed down to Bodhidharma and said, ”There is no mind to be found.”
Bodhidharma said, ”Then I have put it at peace. And whenever you feel that you are uneasy, just
look within, where that uneasiness is.” The very look is anti-mind, because look is not a thinking. And
if you look intensely your whole energy becomes a look, and the same energy becomes movement
and thinking.
And remember most beings when they say that they are stuck it is the indicator that these beings are stuck at EGO the Kingly-Queenly EGO is there which is nourished since our birth so get out of it as soon as possible and you will be at bliss for sure this is not any religious or spiritual statement but very scientific formula.
Be at Bliss so Love and Peace will follow automatically.
