Guest guest Posted January 17, 2001 Report Share Posted January 17, 2001 Mind the mind Mind as the "blame it on" Mind, the object for treatment in meditation Whether directly targeted or not Whatever practice, is aimed at the mind Whereas the mind cannot even be found What is it but a potential, ready to respond The mind is neither good nor bad It only knows concepts It can only ratiocinate, differentiate, compare Know a universe within a grain of sand Just to mention a few... By itself, it is silent It only responds when requested It doesn't question its response It doesn't question the questioner Unless requested to do so It cannot cling It has no "nearest and dearest" It knows neither pleasure nor pain Nor does it distinguish between "head" and "heart" Just to mention a few... Those four, belonging to the departments of the "sentient entity" And no matter how "educated", "beautified" or otherwise "modified" The "sentient entity", caught within the pairs of opposites Until its illusory identity burns out Ashes remaining as mere concepts Sentience remaining as a cinder But enough "heat" being applied - Any_thing will burn out - Jan Attachment: (image/gif) FLAME.GIF [not stored] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
