Mind and Consciousness

Mind and Consciousness

Mind is running consciousness.

Mind is not a separate entity from consciousness.

When the mind doesn’t run, it is pure consciousness.

When air moves, it is wind.

When water moves, it is a river; when it doesn’t, it is a lake, but the same water, resting.

River moves, ocean moves, clouds move.

Wherever there is motion, there is restlessness; there is an innate desire to change, to become something other than what the basal state is.

When we run, we become a runner and perceive it as a separate action.

But what happens when we stop running?

Nothing.

Running doesn’t go anywhere; it just ceases to be.

Running turns into resting.

Running or resting, we are the same.

Minding or not minding, it is the same consciousness.

Everything is consciousness; your thoughts, beliefs, concepts, convictions, any mental activity is consciousness, just in motion.

Self-realization is the realization of your true state, a state of rest, a state of not running.

In this powerful, restful state, impatience converts into patience; anger into tolerance; stress into peace and joy, and desires into contentment.

It is deep within you, waiting to be realized.
