Never mind the Mind

 Never mind the Mind...

This is something that I came across in sayings of Ramana Maharshi.

Ramana Maharshi, was a renowned sage, resided in Tiruvannamalai until he attained Maha samadhi in 1960's. Anyone, who felt lost, confused and searched for answers of life, would have had a glimpse of this great sage at least once during their search.

Interestingly, this makes up our short discussion for today. Whenever we attempt to describe or understand ourselves, we will always use the term, our mind, our body and our spirit quite often.

This itself, shows that we are attempting to keep ourselves apart from the mind and we view the mind as either a source of misery or a source of great power. 

But are we truly not the mind? Our mind, our emotions, our self are truly one and only.  We function only as the three in totality and not separately. Yet, why is it that we attempt to see mind as separate? What is it making us attempt this? The feeling of suffocation, struggle, and a deep sense of longing and searching.

But, in fact, it is the mind itself who is creating the need and the mind alone attempt for separation.

Well, never mind the Mind. Let's just allow ourselves to be us. How? Don't judge, just be. Let both good and bad, mind and heart flow.

Was it so simple? Never mind :-)
