Where is the mind?

[Guest guest]

A devotee lamented repeatedly:

"Bhagavan, my mind is restless;

however much I try to control it I fail again and again.

You alone can make it stand still."

 

Bhagavan did not reply. After the man had left, He

smiled and said,

"Tell me! What is this talk about mind. Where is the

mind? How does it look? Is it black or white? Does it

have a moustache and matted hair? The simple truth

is that there is no mind. What exists is that which IS!"
