Flickering mind

So many thoughts go through my head ... how many ?  Estimated an average of 50,000 thoughts in one day.  Our minds are shifting in and out of our head and make us tired and confused.  So much energy is used  and our life becomes edgy and confused.  50,000 would need a Big data software to filter through.  Huge mass of data , many repeating , moving in half way or anyway.

How can our life be still ?  It always moving and muddy. If we still our mind, the dust or dirt  in the water will settle and the water will be still and clean. If you stir it again, it will become muddy and our mind will be confused and our life muddy.

You throw a stone in the water will be full of ripples and if you continued to through the stones into it continuously, the ripples will become a wave and if more, it will become a storm. So, if we control the size of the stones or the frequency of the stones being throw into the water, the lesser will be the ripple and the mind may become clearer.

In a philosophy class, a professor asked the students to pour half the water into their glass . It is not the question of half full or half empty but hold their glass up with their hands. He told the students to look at the glass whether it is still or not.   The longer , the student hold the glass , the water becomes more shaky.. The professor told the students that the mind behaves like the glass of water. It will never be still as long as we hold it .  If we continued to hold it, our hands will shaky and will also cause the water to be shaky.  Put it on the table and the water will be still and the water will be clear. In life , how do we put our mind on the table to make it still ? It is to let go. Let go of our ego, let go of everything in our mind which caused us to hold up the glass. If we have nothing , then our mind will be clear in the end. If our mind is clear, we will be blissful and happy.  Just imagine , one single thought a day, it will transform yourselves into a youthful self , light self which can caused you to fly.. You will start to believe that you can fly without all the burdens in your life instead of loading yourself with all the wasteful things and thinking.

Let it go , let it go and let it go. Have a single thought a day.

Namaste.
