Observing Mind - a practice

Awareness- Your pure nature

The mind is mobile, and flowing like a river or stream the river flows. We do not attempt to stop the flow of the water, nor can we stop the trajectory of the Mind. Thoughts are like leaves shedding, or clouds drifting, or winds whistling. They come and go. Leaves change and renew, clouds pass, wind goes in different directions. Mind, by its own nature, fluctuates from theme to theme, it has no challenges or concerns. Our relationship with it creates the problem. We fight with the clouds, chase the winds, try to collect the leaves. By simply observing leaves, clouds, wind - not identifying with them- but observing them instead, we become the witness of the mind rather than interacting with it. We cannot stop the mind. But we can stop identifying with it.

When we think we are the mind, that we must interact and manipulate it, we must control our thoughts then we fail to recognize that we are the entire sky of awareness- the vast unchanging backdrop of creation. Awareness has no modification or change. It simply observes and informs. The misunderstanding of how the mind works is humanity greatest obstacle to living a life of non-separation.

The Mandukya Upanishad explains mind functions through the four states of consciousness (waking, dreaming, deep sleep, and Turiya, the transcendent state.) This Upanishad explores the mind's role in projecting a perceived reality (duality, multiplicity) and finally its ultimate transcendence as in the state of deep stillness. The stillness anchored in awareness that leads to freedom, ultimately demonstrating that the perceivable mind and conceivable world rise together and dissolve together: the illusory state we call mithya.

The mind, distracted by desires, sees diversity; when desire is stilled non-separation, non-duality is realized. The mind’s perception and what is being perceived in the world are interdependent. Like the whirling of fire creates various shapes, the Self appears in multiplicity due to the mind's projections. When the mind stops projecting, seer and what is seen dissolve into the non-dual Self - the Self that is one with all things. The self we call Brahman, that can be elaborated as the essence of pure self-awareness, tranquil, auspicious, non-dual……
