Mind's job is to give options Like, This is lunch time, right? So a thought arises, "Here we are sitting and talking and there lunch time will be over. What if we do not get food to eat? What shall we do then?" Then the mind says," Nevermind we will go to the canteen. But what if there is no food in the canteen too? The morning breakfast too was not good. We wonder what food will we get to eat?" Now the mind has started a chain of thoughts, which is like a train trailing with all the coaches. So chain of thoughts are happening. Now you thought sensibly, that throughout your life you just relished food and gained weight. It is more important to listen at this moment. Listen, and take the answers to your queries. Eating is not a big deal. The moment you realize this the train of thoughts, comes to a halt. It's when you don't think with logic or intellect the trailing thoughts continue See it's the mind itself who is thinking but all kind of options are present in it good/bad..all kind of options of thoughts are there there is one thought which will give you more confusion but from this very mind a thought can be created which sorts it out. So popping up of a thought should not be a problem a thought has to be acted upon or not, is to be understood well. Mind is like a personal secretary you know. PS-personal secretary, that Nature has given us It is its job to remember everything. This is to be done, that is to be done your relationships, ambitions, work, reading/writing this is needed or that, to go here or there, to say this or not Where are all these things recorded? In your mind And the mind reminds you, "Time to go back is nearing closer. What is to be done?" The secretary will give you options- "Ok! can we postpone it or not?" or "No! It is important to go." It is giving you options, right ? So just watch and listen to it. Ok! Think there is a boss whose secretary comes and tells him " Sir you have a meeting at 2 pm." and the boss starts to yell at him, "Are you out of your mind? Why are you telling me? If it is at 2 p.m what can I do? I have nothing to do with it" Secretary will say, "It is my job, to inform you that you have a meeting. So finish your lunch early and end the meeting soon." It is the secretary's job to let the boss know, how he can travel to a place? by air, road or train so it is giving him all the options. The boss has to finally decide. Yet the boss anxiously replies, "You are out of your mind. Why are you telling me all this." How will it feel? How will it sound? It is silly. So mind is a nice guy. It is like a secretary. So it is letting you know this is to be done, this is not completed..it has to be completed.. somebody is sick..I have to call him up an email has come..it has to be replied to. Now you are saying, that when I meditate the mind should not say anything. True, there is a time when you can ask your secretary, "Please leave me alone." Go and rest. So Dhyan is that time when you can say go and rest to the mind. How? By using the right technique If you sit in meditation rightly, with any method you choose pay attention to that method completely. Follow its instructions 100 per cent. so mind will understand, it is not my time right now the boss wants some private time so a good secretary will not interfere. So be a good boss to the mind and don't hate your mind. Your mind is your secretary it helps you to function it helps you to deal, it helps you to properly interact Now I will tell you a second story. The boss had liquor, and he is drunk Now who will turn the boss secretary If a call comes who will pick up? secretary If a decision is to be made, who will take it? secretary. Since the boss is off... right? So your mind becomes the boss when you are lost in your tamas and ignorance. Then all decisions taken on behalf of the boss by the secretary will have consequences. Now who will bear the consequences? Secretary or the boss? It will be the boss.. right? So boss should always be in his senses, meaning aware..attentive..focused. Only then he will be able to hire and fire his secretary. and any good officer or businessman never has enmity with his secretary as secretary knows everything. All the hanky pankys which you have done. Knows everything..so he'll always be nice, kind and friendly to the secretary but, every boss should be very cautious and attentive and focused. Like, consider there is a government officer or even if somebody is in the private sector CEO of a company and he has hired a secretary and secretary sees that the boss is drunk and there is a meeting in which the boss wants to go. What will the secretary say? "I won't let you go." So this will be a good thing right? And if the secretary is dishonest then? Go... go He will ask the boss to go as the boss had once rebuked him. Today his image will be ruined in front of all the officers and everybody so let it be. This is a revengeful secretary. That's why I say, make your mind your friend. Don't make it an enemy. Because this mind will make you do such stuff which you will regret and be guilty of and repent later on. So mind is to be trained properly with vivek and vichaar If you don't have Vivek and Vichaar and your ego is too big then you don't have to go to hell, you can create it right here.
