A Movie and the Screen

A Movie and the Screen

Meditation, witnessing, is only a practice of going behind the thoughts.

Thoughts are like an ongoing movie that we are addicted to.

Thoughts are superficial, floating on the ocean of consciousness.

Thoughts are a movie, and consciousness is the screen.

The same fervor with which we are watching the movie called mind, we need to bring it slightly behind and fix it on the screen.

A movie is chaos; the screen is peace.

Thoughts limit us; non-thinking expands us.

Before the thoughts arise, or after they finish, there is perpetual silence.

Step back, be the screen, the screen of silence.

Let the movie of the mind keep playing; don’t attach “I” to it, and enjoy the pristine perpetual silence, which is the ultimate reality.

Thoughts are here, now, and so is the silence.

Movie is here, and so is the screen.

They are inseparable.

But a movie cannot play without a screen; a screen can be without a movie.

Which one to choose only needs a shift of dimension.
