How to get rid of the mind? Is it the mind that wants to kill itself? The mind cannot kill itself. So your business is to find the real nature of the mind. Then you will know that there is no mind. When the Self is sought, the mind is nowhere. Abiding in the Self, one need not worry about the mind.

The Sage has no thinking mind and therefore there are no ‘others’ for him.

We are in our Self. We are not in the world.

When one makes the mind stick to one thought, the mind becomes rock-steady and the energy is conserved.

If you make the thief the policeman there will be lots of investigation but no arrests will ever be made.

Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.

You have to ask yourself the question 'Who am I?' This investigation will lead in the end to the discovery of something within you which is behind the mind. Solve that great problem and you will solve all other problems.
