from mind to no mind Swami Nithyananda


From Mind to No Mind 



Use the mind but don't become it. Use it as you use other
 
machine. Mind is a beautiful machine. If you can use it, 

it will serve you, if you cannot use it and it starts using you, 

it is destructive, it is dangerous.  It is bound to take you 

into some trouble, suffering, calamities, misery because 

machine is a blind thing. Meditation means getting out 

of the mind, looking at the mind from the outside. 

That's exactly the meaning of the word ecstasy: to stand

 outside. To stand outside of the mind makes you ecstatic,

 it brings bliss to you and great intelligence is released. 


When you are identified with the mind, you cannot be 

very intelligent because you become identified with an 

instrument, you become 

confined by the instrument and its limitations.

 But the truth is you are unlimited, you are 

pure consciousness.
