Sadhguru answered for the question of “How to get rid of mind
chattering when we are in silent or in meditation?
It took millions of years of evolution to get a mind and tremendous
amount of nature’s work that today you have a mind of this kind of scope and
now you want to stop it.
Why is it that you want to stop it? If your mind was
constantly producing absolute pleasantness for you, would you think how to stop
this mind? No. it’s producing lot of
unpleasantness, that’s why you are thinking of how to stop the mind.
Why do you have such a horrible prejudice against the mind?
You don’t mind if your heart is beating, you can mediate
You don’t mind if your liver is working you can mediate
Your kidneys are functioning you can mediate.
If your brain
functions you can’t mediate
What is the problem?
You seem to have something against intelligence isn’t it? This
is the conspiracy of the stupid against human intelligence that to meditate
means your brain must be frozen. No, you don’t have to freeze your brain.
We will initiate you into shambavi. This is one simple way
but it’s powerful process. If you sit here, you will say your body is here, your
mind is somewhere, who you are is somewhere else.
Once there is space between you and the mind, what the mind
is doing not even an issue. It is like you are stuck into the traffic jam, you are
struggling through the traffic, that’s one experience. Suppose you are either
standing on Chamundi hill or you are floating in a hot air balloon and look
down at all the traffic, very peacefully. There is a distance isn’ it?
So once there is a
distance between you and your mind’s activity, mind is not a problem. Mind is a
miracle. The moment you identify yourself with something that you are not, then
you are finished. Your mind continuously runs. It is not going to stop. If you
do not identify yourself with anything that you are not, you know how to use
everything.
