thoughts...


With the help of the scriptures and also with the words of the Master, when we realize oneness with the Self then the entire desires with the subtle worlds are destroyed. The mind then becomes no mind, the mind doesn’t remain. After enlightenment, you will observe that you have no mind but your existence will remain. You will have thoughts, but there would be no attachment what so ever with them. You cannot recognize yourself with the mind at all then. You will be completely separated from these thoughts. Existence of mind is nothing but attachment to it. When there is no attachment at all, then whose mind is this? When we know the truth, the mind becomes no mind. After realization of truth, there is absolutely no acceptance of any object from the outer world, because of the knowledge that the outside world becomes completely false. So, the acceptance of the outer world is nil. And that is the reason why the mind becomes completely objectless. The mind becomes completely conscious and goes beyond all imaginations. This happens because of the lack of any object.
The mind cannot stay without any support. So, if you want to remove the objects, desires or imaginations of your mind, engage the mind into the thought of the Self. Brahman then becomes the support of the mind and thus the outer objects cannot come inside. With very less discrimination, the mind with the effect of those imaginations will become a dreaming mind, creating something, living on the past or the future, ignoring the present, becomes similar to death. Thus the mind goes in vain. So, for a firm knowledge, discrimination is a must. Discrimination for ten minutes is much more powerful than meditating for several hours. With discrimination, you go directly to the point. A discrimination less mind falls often. So, engage yourself more in thinking. When we start discriminating, we do not find the existence of the mind.
The mind creates so many problems to us. A man becomes mad only because of the mind, he looses control of his thoughts not because of others. A man becomes depressed, restless, war, fight, all because of the mind. But, if we are capable to discriminate, we see the mind doesn’t have existence at all. So, this is maya or delusion. Though it doesn’t exist, it seems so true. A man becomes happy, sad, depressed, frustrated, angry etc etc because of the mind, but the truth is that, it doesn’t exist at all. This is Maya. So, always discriminate and within a very short time, you would see that you have reached the truth. Remain neutral always. Cut yourself, cut the heads of your thoughts, discriminate. It never says to cut others head, cut yours, it needs courage.
Because of the desires, mind is created. Because of the lack of discrimination, it is created. You are always beyond. As the existence of the dreaming state becomes completely immaterial or false, non existent in the conscious state, with discrimination the existence of mind also becomes likewise. In the conscious and dreaming state, we feel all projections of the mind. But, in the deep sleep state, with the disappearance of mind, all its projections and its effects disappear as well. But, I remain in these three states. I or the self or the knowledge is existent in all these three states.
