Default Treat the mind as a stranger - 02-10-2003, 05:38 AM

Don't be deluded by your thoughts and vasanas. They are always
trying to trick you into believing that you are a real person, that
the world is real, and that all your problems are real. Don't fight
them; just ignore them. Don't accept delivery of all the wrong ideas
that keep coming to you. Establish yourself in the conviction that
you are the Self and that nothing can stick to you or affect you.
Once you have that conviction, you will find that you automatically
ignore the habits of the mind. When the rejection of the mental
activities becomes continuous and automatic, you will begin to have
the experience of the Self.
Analogy: If you see two strangers quarrelling in the distance, you
do not give much attention to them because you know that the dispute
is none of your business. Treat the contents of your mind in the
same way. Pay no attention! Cultivate the attitude that all
thoughts, all perceptions are "NOT ME, NOT MINE."

Living By the Words of Bhagavan

Hari Aum !!!
