What you call as “my mind” is not yours actually. You don’t have a mind of your own. Please look at it carefully. What you call as “my mind” is just society’s garbage bin. Anyone and everyone who passes by you stuffs something into your head.
As you wander through the bustling streets, people of all shapes and sizes come into your view. They talk and laugh and argue, each one leaving a small piece of themselves in your mind as they pass by. You have no say in who fills your head with their thoughts and opinions; it is an endless stream that cannot be controlled. Even those you may dislike or distrust will find a way to leave their mark on you, their voices echoing long after they are gone. But if you learn how to sort through this constant barrage of noise, there is value to be found amidst the chaos.
This accumulation of impressions and information, though often overwhelming, can be harnessed for survival in this world. And even now, you may forget what I’m saying because this is the nature of the mind. So, if you find yourself taking a position, which might seem like it is a position in response to what I said, then notice that that is the mind. There is something more natural, more simple, at the core of our very existence.
In fact, The Existence is made of that essence. But this essence cannot be distilled in some concept, into some idea. And the more you try to do that, the more you will struggle, the more you will suffer. But don't mistake it for defining who you truly are - that lies within, beyond the influence of others and their fleeting words and actions.
Lastly, May Good things come to your Life.
