The Mind Is Not

[Guest guest]

The mind is not.

 

Do not unnecessarily imagine its existence.

 

If you imagine its existence then it destroys you like a ghost.

 

As long as you have forgotten your Self, so long does this imaginary mind exist.

 

Now that you have realized that the mind waxes large by the continued

affirmation of its

existence, abandon such thinking.

 

When objectivity arises in your consciousness. the latter becomes conditioned

and limited:

that is bondage.

 

When objectivity is abandoned, you become mind-less; that is liberation.

 

Coming into contact with the qualities of nature is conducive to bondage:

abandoning

them is the road to liberation.

 

Knowing this, do what ever you please.
