Day 266 - Don’t Get Lost in Your Thoughts

About

In this second of two interrelated talks, we explore Guruji’s beautiful statement: “Don’t get lost in your thoughts. Let your thoughts get lost in you!” Day 265 showed us how unnecessary and opposing thoughts dissipate our mental energy. Today we go deeper. The problem is not merely that thoughts arise, but that we become identified with them. Vedānta invites us to step back, observe the thoughts and recognise the distinction between the thoughts that are known and the one who knows them. In doing so, we begin to move from identification with the BMI to an understanding of the deeper reality beyond it. Hari aum!
