Still your mind:
Essence
-
If you choose (and it is a choice) to remain convinced that you
are what your mind tells you that you are, then try to realize just
how tenuous your self-image really is.
Lose or find a job, lose or find a lover, or have your ego praised
or insulted and watch your self-image change rapidly and at times
radically. The ramifications of these events cause the mind to
constantly redefine who you are. The mind will tell you that you
were once this or that, and now you are this or that. Clearly see
that it is merely an image.
All the ideas your mind has about you are perilously hinging on
ever-changing circumstances and events.
Do you think the essence of who you are can suddenly change
because someone hires or fires you, loves or hates you, or insults
or praises you?
Realize that the essence of who you are (the witness of these
thoughts) is infinite and changeless. Recall that you are able to
observe your thoughts so in fact you are separate from them.
That which does the observing is changeless and unaffected by
the events unfolding around you.
If you remain engrossed in your thoughts then it follows that you
will be tossed to and fro. Remain objective to your thoughts, tame
your ego and you will be at peace. This inner peace may be achieved
with sincerity in your heart and daily discipline. Practice present
moment awareness at all times and mediate regularly to still the
restless mind.
