Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 - sshomi Wednesday, July 20, 2005 4:31 PM Show me the mind ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` People often ask how the mind is controlled. I say to them, 'Show me the mind and then you will know what to do.' The fact is that the mind is only a bundle of thoughts. How can you extinguish it by the thought of doing so or by a desire? Your thoughts and desires are part and parcel of the mind. The mind is simply fattened by new thoughts rising up. Therefore it is foolish to attempt to kill the mind by means of the mind. The only way of doing it is to find its source and hold on to it. The mind will then fade away of its own accord. - Sri Ramana Maharshi ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `"Be As You Are"The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshiedited by David GodmanArkana, 1985Lead me from the unreal to the realLead me from darkness to lightLead me from death to immortality. - Invocation from the UpanishadsArchive for can be accessed at:/messages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
