MIND

[SS91]

The mind brings all kinds of miseries.

The first: the mind is never in the present,

it goes on missing the present.

And only the present is!

The mind is always in the past always and always in the past.

Or always in the future always and always in the future.

The mind goes on jumping from the past to the future,

from the future to the past.

It never stays here, now.

The mind is like the pendulum of a clock it goes on moving from one

polarity to another polarity but never stays in the middle.
 
One has to get out of this trap of the past and the future because

the door opens in the present;

the door opens at this moment, either now or never.

And the door is open, but our eyes are wavering.

We look into the past, we look into the future and the present is

very, very small between these two,and we go on missing it.
 
Unless you drop the mind you can never be in tune with existence,

you cannot pulsate with the pulse of the universe.

If you don't drop the mind you go on living in a private world of

your own creation; you don't live in the real world.
 
The mind, by its very nature, is of the past.

It is made up of the sum total of your past experiences,

together with all of your concepts, ideas, opinions, beliefs,

attitudes and judgments, which have been accumulated by

you during your life.
 
The mind / ego can only know things from the past,

which it accesses through memory.

It then projects that remembered knowledge from the past

and all the ideas, opinions, judgments and beliefs of the

past onto whatever you are experiencing in the present moment.
 
This distorts the reality of the present moment and renders it

impossible for you to directly experience the true nature of what

is present in the moment.
