Mind is an illusion.

Mind is an illusion which you have borrowed. You don’t have a conscience nor do you have a soul. You have adopted whatever has been told to you.

Have you ever looked at your life from your side? Or have you blindly followed all that was told to you? This borrowed knowledge has created pitch darkness inside you. And, there is only one treatment for this darkness – meditation. By treating this one malady all else will fall in place. Just as the thread in a beads necklace, in the same manner meditation runs through your behavior, your conduct, your thoughts and feelings, and in everything.

Meditation is the string. You lay your hands on it and everything will be in your grip. From where will you hold it? You can hold it only from where you are. Right now you are outside. Start meditating from there.

Make every act your meditation. Pay attention to everything you do – eating, drinking, walking, money, anger, indulgence. Pay attention to everything and anything. And, you will be surprised to see that if you paid attention on anger, it will disappear. Only attention will remain. Pay attention to greed and that too will be gone. Similarly, with everything you will realize that as you become aware of the material world, it will fade away. That is when your spiritual journey begins.
