Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 O mind, why do you think? Have you ever thought about it? Why are you so hungry for a continuous stream of thoughts? Without a break. Are you not tired yet from continuous thinking? Continuous striving, competing, winning, loosing, worrying, regretting yesterdays, planning tomorrows, deceiving oneself with momentary pleasures in a continuous sea of confusion, illusion, trying to understand, trying to control. Is it not obvious that you are an utter failure? That you are not in charge. Perhaps, there has been a mistake. Perhaps, you have taken on a burden not your own? Is not the infinitely complex universe running smoothly on its own when you do not meddle? O mind, even Einstein said you were meant to serve not to be the master. O mind, are you not suffering greatly yourself, making many blunders you make the body suffer also. Why not be honest? Why deceive yourself? O mind, consider resting for a while. Consider your "stuck in the head" situation. Is this your real home? If it were, you would be happy. O mind, consider stopping thinking for a while. O mind, consider going home. Try floating gently down to your heart. Do you not remember moments of real happiness, joy, freedom? This always was the case when you rested in the heart, even for a moment ~ perhaps, in childhood. Remember? Why not rest longer and longer in the heart? I know ~ you are afraid of death. Yes, the longer you rest in the heart, more and more thoughts will die. A day will come when no thought waves will arise from the ocean of the silent heart A day of stillness and calm of unfathomable silence and peace. But, there is nothing to fear. This is your home which is free of all fears. And, the waves will rise again. Not in striving and disappointment. Not in fear, confusion, sorrow and pain. The ocean will bring forth new waves of peace and contentment of joy and happiness of divine strength and wisdom of divine love and light O mind, surrender and be happy Be a humble instrument in the hands of God Be Love Be Compassion om please forgive the mind for any mistakes( wrong expressions ) om thank the Heart/Amma for any inspiration amarnath lokaha samastaha sukhino bhavantu( 3x ) om santi, santi, santihi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
