When sadness comes, just sit by the side and look at it and say, “I am the watcher, I am not sadness,” and see the difference. Immediately you have cut the very root of sadness. It is no more nourished. It will die of starvation. We feed these emotions by being identified with them. |
When you are witnessing, the mind remains, but not constantly working. Your identity is broken. |
When you are working in your office, I am not telling you to be a no-mind. When you are working in your shop or in the factory, I am not saying to be a no-mind. I am saying be perfectly a mind. Use the mind but don't carry it continuously, twenty-four hours, day in and day out, with yourself. Don't go on dragging it. Use it as you use a chair. You don't go on carrying your chair everywhere, wherever you go, just because you may need it. |
When you become good at the art of letting sufferings go, then you'll come to realize what you were dragging around with you. And for that, no one else other than you was responsible. |
When you don't have a mind, then you have a heart. When you don't have a mind only then your heart starts pulsating, then you have love. No-mind means love. Love is my message. |
When you understand yourself, that very day you have understood the whole of humanity. Then nobody can make you miserable... |
When you want any memory you can use the mind just as you can put on your tape recorder. |
With me, a new chapter in the history of consciousness begins. |
You are the watcher; the mind is the watched. It is a beautiful mechanism, one of the most beautiful mechanisms that nature has given to you. So you can use it when needed for factual memory -- for phone numbers, for addresses, for names, for faces....It is a good tool, but that's all it is. It need not sit upon you continuously twenty-four hours a day. Even while you are sleeping, it is sitting on your chest torturing you, giving you nightmares. All kinds of relevant and irrelevant thoughts go on and on. |
You don't need somebody to interpret for you what a beautiful sunrise it is. |
You will not need to change your life according to it, it will be changed of its own accord. |
Your mind has become expert in destroying you, because your life consists of simple things. |
Your mind is continuously projecting – projecting itself |
