What does the mind do?
We think that the mind thinks. But what is this thinking about?
Mostly the mind thinks about the past. Or else about the future.
If something has gone right, then the mind tries to find some flaw or fault in it.
If something has gone wrong, then the mind tries to extrapolate that into Armageddon.
The mind struggles to remain in the now, in the present.
Interestingly, all our scriptures say that the here and the now is where the mind should be. That is what leads to spiritual evolution. In the now, the mind doesn’t even have to think. It simply needs to witness.
Mind it, it’s easier said than done.
