Thinking, thinking, thinking...n thinking more...

U suffer from thinking and this mind bcos u think that " U CAN THINK"...

My dear, pls  realize something...U cannot think, because if u could then u could stop it as well, isn't it...just try to stop" thinking"...u can't stop it bcos u didnt start it in the first place...

So if u think that u can think...it means u r in deep sleep ....unaware.

Kindly get this very straight "U CANNOT THINK"...and this understanding is the part of self realization, this understanding is where masters have tried to lead u to through meditation...

Am I saying that "there is no thinking"...No,
What  I am saying is that thinking is there and u cannot start it or stop it...
it has nothing to do with u... 

Let me elaborate....
There is a thunderstorm outside and u get an idea "o, it just might rain heavily"...
now  did u think this thought or it happened bcos of the thunderstorm...had there been no noise of it or no thunderstorm u wouldn't have got this thought...isn't it.

Take another situation...
u see a beautiful woman coming or some attractive young man walking down the lane and U say "wow...she is so beautiful or omg, he is so handsome..."...now did u think this  or it happened  on its own bcos of  something  which is not in ur control...had there been no man or woman walking down u wouldn't have got these thoughts ...and this way if u go on "WATCHING", U will be surprised to see how wrong u were and how mislead everybody is about everything...


THINKING IS A CASE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT...THERE IS A CAUSE WHICH IS NOT IN UR HANDS AND  FORMATION OF THOUGHTS IS THE EFFECT WHICH AGAIN IS NOT IN UR CONTROL

Take another situation...
Newton was sitting under the apple tree and the apple fell n he discovered the "law of gravity"....so had that apple not fallen on his head , chances are he wouldn't have discovered that ...so perhaps he discovered the principle of gravity bcos of that apple and perhaps bcos of the energy which pushed the apple down at that perfect moment...

So does Newton deserve the credit for discovering the law of nature...)))...No...it happened bcos of some higher energy which pushed down the apple and chose newton to be the vehicle  for discovering "the law of gravity"...isn't it ...)))...

All the  situations are thrown by the existence and they keep on coming all the time as long as u r  alive and every situation generates thoughts on its own  through memory or past experiences.

 THERE CAN BE THOUSAND AND ONE REASONS WHY A PARTICULAR THOUGHT HAPPENED BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED BCOS OF UR EFFORT...

SO THE ESSENCE IS THAT "THINKING IS JUST HAPPENING"...
like the heart is pumping the blood
the lungs are pumping the air
the hunger is coming on its own...

like the sleep is coming on its own...
like the liver kidneys working on their own..,
like the sun is giving heat on its own , the trees are growing on their own...

AND WHEN I SAY "ON ITS OWN"  IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT U HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.....


SO WHAT TO DO

"ATTENTION "is the key to it.....the solution.

Please notice a few things,
The body is blessed with senses...there is a physical aspect to every organ and there is a qualitative aspect to it.

LETS SAY EARS....now Ear is the physical  and the capacity to hear is the qualitative aspect of it...
LETS SAY NOSE....now Nose is physical and the capacity to smell is the qualitative dimension of it....
LETS SAY EYES....now Eyes are the physical part and the capacity to see is the non physical part of eyes...

Similarly there is the CONSCIOUSNESS....OR THE "CHETNA"...OR "THE ATMA "...OR  "THE PRESENCE" and "ATTENTION" is the qualitative aspect of it ...and this is where the catch is...

The suffering from mind can be  dropped by this thing called ATTENTION"...
WHATEVER U GIVE ATTENTION TO WILL GROW.

WHEN U GIVE ATTENTION TO UR HEALTH, IT WILL IMPROVE...
WHEN U GIVE ATTENTION TO MAKING MONEY....IT WILL GROW...
.

SO IF U GIVE ATTENTION TO MIND OR TRY TO SORT IT OUT OR TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT OR TRY TO STREAMLINE IT...IT WILL GROW...U R FEEDING IT...
IT WILL BECOME MORE COMPLICATED...
IT WILL BECOME MORE POWERFUL...
IT WILL BECOME MORE MESSY...MORE MUDDLED...MORE ENERGY SUCKING.

DON'T GIVE ATTENTION TO MIND...DON'T FEED IT
DO  WHATEVER IS POSSIBLE  ABOUT A SITUATION AND THEN JUST WITHDRAW ALL THE ATTENTION FROM IT...

DON'T TRY TO SOLVE IT...

DON'T TRY TO CONTROL UR THOUGHTS...NEVER EVER DO THAT...
ITS NOT IN UR HANDS...
WHAT'S IN UR CONTROL IS WHETHER U PAY ATTENTION TO IT OR NOT...
THIS IS CALLED "DROPPING OF MIND"...JUST DON'T GET INVOLVED WITH IT...
DON'T TRY TO SOLVE SOMETHING BEYOND A POINT...
JUST DROP IT...JUST SURRENDER....IN OTHER WORDS "LET GO"...

THIS IS THE ONLY AND ONLY AND ONLY SOLUTION...
BUT AGAIN THERE IS A PROBLEM...UNLESS U FIND SOMEBODY WHO HAS DROPPED THE MIND....WHO HAS TRANSCENDED IT....WHO HAS GONE BEYOND IT...U WILL FAIL...

AND THAT IS EXACTLY THE  DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MASTER AND A CAMP LEADER...BETWEEN A PARROT AND AN AUTHENTIC ONE...BETWEEN A GURU AND A SO CALLED PANDIT...

A CAMP LEADER OR A PANDIT IS "INFORMED"...
A MASTER IS "TRANSFORMED"...
U DON'T NEED INFORMATION, U NEED TRANSFORMATION...
U CAN READ ABOUT DROPPING MIND BUT IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW TO DROP THE MIND....
HOW TO WITHDRAW THE ATTENTION FROM MIND...
HOW TO COME BACK FROM MIND AND THEN STAY IN THIS NEW SPACE OF "NO MIND"...


WITHOUT THIS "ONE CAN NEVER EVER LIVE PEACEFULLY...NOT AT ALL"...
thinking will just drive u crazy...slowly slowly one is bound to fall prey to it...
the anxiety and the boredom or the unnecessary draining of life energy will leave u a pauper...
just a matter of time...ur millions, ur knowledge, ur relations , ur achievements...nothing will work...the fears and the greed...the complexities of mind...all are bound to have a cascading effect...

People suffer so much bcos of this thinking ...to the extent that they end up killing themselves...
u recently had the case of Robbin Williams...and another case of this famous actor from "mission impossible " series .

And there are so many cases from the past and perhaps everyday life where ppl just  "CHOOSE TO KILL THEMSELVES RATHER THAN SUFFER FROM THIS THINKING THINKING THINKING SYNDROME"...Where one feels enslaved, overpowered and tortured by this continuous repetition of thoughts...unending and directionless...with no end in sight...continuously draining life energy from a being for no good.


LEARN THE ART OF DROPPING THE MIND WITH AWARENESS...
NOT DROPPING THE MIND WITH ADDICTION...BUT WITH AWARENESS...

AND AGAIN COMES THE  "MEDITATION"...
THE KEY TO END OF ALL SUFFERING...
THE KEY TO "UNENDING BLISS...A STATE OF NO MIND".

BE CLEAR THAT MIND IS CRAP...IT WILL STINK U TO MADNESS...
THIS CANNOT BE SORTED OUT AND SINCE U R TRYING HARD TO SORT IT OUT AND CONTROL IT, U R LOSING SLEEP...

MEDITATE AND U WILL BE HEALTHY...
U WILL BE SANE OR ELSE U ALREADY CAN FEEL WHERE THIS MIND IS LEADING U TO...

ALL THE BEST
