Don't give any attention to thoughts, even if they appear important. Stay peaceful, and the thoughts will become impotent.
Thoughts will continue to try and sabotage your peace, as you watch.
They will give little messages to sabotage your seeing.
Watch their antics. Their threats. Their temptations, their fears, their sense of urgency, their monkey nature.
Their stories are impersonal and go nowhere. Through peaceful watching you will realise this.
"Life is big enough, to take all our mistakes, all our adventures. You can't outlarge life."
"Mind is trapped in the illusion that it should feel happy"
By Y V Chawla.
Psychological hurt is psychological discomfort. Absorbing this discomfort without any explanation opens the door to the secret of Existence.
The error has taken over the present mind that it should feel happy, stay pleased, stay relieved all the time as if feeling of confusion, fear, any uneasy feeling does not belong to it. If you notice this insistence of the mind, it drops- the Original energy touches you. You are attuned to supreme relaxation with unending friction to operate.
When you allow your feelings (fear, confusion, anxiety) as they are, your imagination becomes clear, what you want becomes clear. We are carried away as if thinking can change or undo any feeling.
‘I do not want to be angry’. ‘I want to be free from fear’. ‘I want to be happy’. And so on. The words create an alienation as if there is a separate entity to reject or retain. Can you notice this? This noticing is the concentration of total energy.
We are enamoured as if pleasure, relief, feeling good are independent experiences as if they can stay or stabilize. Pleasure, relief, feeling good is dependent upon, is essentially experienced against pain, stress, some uneasy feeling. Once one notices the connection-pleasure, relief, feeling good are not registered in the brain as something stable. The touch of the Original happens.
We want to rest through the relief, pleasure offered by entertainment, intoxications, addition to possessions, relations, holidays against the compulsion of work. Mind registers this relief, is inclined as if this part (entertainment and so on) is actual life. We forget that this pleasure, relief is dependent upon, is because of compulsion experienced at work. Once we see the connection, the fused state takes over.
