The mind is like the wind. You're trying to stop the wind, dressed as a kite. How are you going to do it?

If the 'I am the doer' idea goes, then only I Am remains and that 'I Am' has no religion.

When the mind adjusts to simply staying here, then that mind is not called mind any more. It's just Self. It's only ever Self.

Your mantra is thank you. Just keep saying thank you. Don't explain. Don't complain. Just say thank you. Say thank you to existence.

When you know you know nothing, an air of openness and humility prevails. Then real understanding enters the mind.

O Lord...Let my knowing of you not just be in my mind, but fully alive inside my heart...remove ‘me’...let there be only you

No thought has any power. You have power. And when you identify and believe in the thought you give power to the thought.
