Your problems exist because you have a Mind.
But your problems by themselves or the Mind by itself,
is not the PROBLEM.
(The PROBLEM = the root cause behind all the problems you face or experience)
The PROBLEM can be stated in many ways ...
1. You tend to hold on to your Mind
2. You live with the Mind
3. You live in the Mind
4. You live as the Mind
5. You live for the Mind
A glimpse into the graveness of this predicament of yours is this...
Upon reading the statement
"Your problems exist because you have a Mind",
you will tend to think
that I am asking you to let go of your Mind
or to live without your Mind.
But that is not true.
Because it is not my intention to tell you to do anything,
let alone do something so drastic or bizarre-sounding.
And after all,
I do not know or care to know who you are.
But I will reveal that your reflexive thought towards my statement
is because that is what your Mind makes of it.
You know why that is the case?
It is so because it has been trained to always look
for instructions or next-steps in the statements of others.
Yes.
It is always looking for a "Way" or something disguising as a "prize".
To which, you will immediately ask -
Why does it do that?
The reasons could be many.
I have listed them in many other of my writings.
The crucial thing is the fact that it does that.
You see,
because it does that so often and so fast,
it continues to keep the human it inhabits,
from the Truth that it does that.
You must rest with the statement above for more than just a while.
For it is not as straightforward as it reads.
There is more.
Because your Mind always looks for a "way" or "help" or a "prize"
it is not available for the thing that it is there for.
And to which, your curiousness will "serve" you again by making you ask -
What is the thing it is there for?
The thing is the Truth of your life.
The thing is the REASON you exist.
The thing is why your heart beats, your lungs inhale air, your digestion works,
and your feet hold you upright and take you where you need to go.
No, I do not talk about silly things such as "purpose" or "reason",
as touted by intellects, advisors, or other experts around you.
I speak of the ONE and only ONE REASON you were conceived by Nature.
And though you are probably lost in conflict with your Mind,
with it constantly going - "No, why do only one thing"
or that you "should be" someone or something else,
as all your peers or friends around you,
I must tell you ...
I said no such thing which your Mind is responding to.
Because I do not speak from within the realms of my Mind,
I do not expect yours to nod to or to understand what I say.
In fact, I do expect it to reject, to revolt,
and to say something totally unrelated.
For I state the Truth and Truth alone...
The ONE thing will liberate you.
The ONE thing will make you realize YOU.
The ONE thing will make you FEEL YOU - your essence,
and the LIFE inside you and its limitlessness.
And in doing so,
it will set you free from the Mind and its constant chatter.
Yes.
The very Mind that you are finding relief from in these words,
and in every other thing you have done,
or will do in life.
Thank you.
