Acceptance is the key

I have realized that once you accept the present, there is no suffering. Accepting the thing as it is is difficult but can be practiced. Every second if we have the desire of something different and want to escape the present, we can never live in the present. And that is disastrous. Life will end and at the last breath we will realize that we haven't lived.

Living without desire is bliss. Mind is a very bad master but a very good slave. If you observe closely, you will find that mind wants to take things in its hand and it does, unless you closely watch the mind. When you start seeing the mind, mind will disappear. Mind dislikes being watched. The existence of mind will disappear at that instant and you will find self.

What is mind. Mind is just bundle of thoughts. Thoughts come and goes, another thought comes and takes you to a ride. Its a never ending process. By regular practice, you will be able to see the activities of mind and see how naughty it is. Mind is occupying your home and takes you anywhere in a split of a second. Why do you want to allow someone to occupy your self and involving you in different mind activities.

To come out of this, a regular practice of being in present should be done. Question yourself, who are you? If you question, you will know that you are not your body, you are not your mind. Then who are you. You are something else. You are the observer, the seer. This will connect you to your inner self. But what is that inner self. It is difficult to express in words. But you can feel that once you connect to the emptiness. That is the soul, the God, that ultimate, whatever you may call it. But it will give you peace.

Let there be peace, within you, within us, within everyone. You will realize in all of us there is One, that consciousness, that is expressing from our body, senses and the mind. The problem is that we think that we are the body or the mind. Once you surrender to the ultimate, the consciousness, things will start happening automatically. You will not be involved in getting used by the mind.
