Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Questioner: How can I make my mind steady? Maharaj: How can an unsteady mind make itself steady? Of course it cannot. It is the nature of the mind to roam about. All you can do is to shift the focus of consciousness beyond the mind. Q: How is it done? Maharaj: Refuse all thoughts except one: the thought 'I am'. The mind will rebel in the beginning, but with patience and perseverance it will yield and keep quiet. Once you are quiet, things will begin to happen spontaneously and quite naturally without any interference on your part. - Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
