“[Stopping your mind is] so easy and yet so hard. The reason it appears hard is because you have become attached to your way of thinking, you have been attached to person, place and thing for so many years. You’re attached to your memories, to your body. This is the reason it appears difficult.

But when you begin to understand and realize there is no body, there is no attachment, there is only total freedom, the mind becomes totally annihilated. This is something you have to work with yourself.

This is something you have to talk to yourself about, something you have to see for yourself. Seeing is being. As you begin to see the great truth, that you are the imperishable Self, the mind will automatically run away and become dissolved.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
