Q.My mind is so strong and clever; will you help me?
~ Papaji: Why have you accepted your defeat, that the mind is so strong? Why? It has to be your slave, not your master. As a slave he is very obedient, but as your master or as your teacher he is a butcher! Don’t feel defeated by this man because you have not even seen him! How can you say he is so strong?
You have never seen him! Nobody has seen the mind. Therefore, this is only a ghost. You are haunted by a ghost. Those who say “I have a strong mind,” or “I am troubled by my mind,” they are haunted by a ghost. There is one psychotherapist here in Satsang who will help you with your ghosts (giggles) and he will charge you $100 per hour! So to be haunted by ghosts is very costly!
If you are conscious of the rising of the thought it will not arise. Do you follow this? I will speak again and again. It is very important! When the thought is arising, look at it. Do this and tell me if you understand. All your life the thoughts are arising, so look at them and tell me what happens.
Be vigilant. Invite the thoughts to come. Say “Oh thought, I like you, I love you!” (giggles) and see what thought will come.
A. No thought comes.
~ Papaji: So you know the secret of how no thought will come to you…
