Cease

Cease now. Cease in your mental activity that has, so far, mostly, has brought upon you suffering and more suffering. Notwithstanding the panic episodes, I cannot live under the tyranny of the mind. Enough is enough. Mind – that itself is characterized and marred with indecision, confusion and all the rest of it – cannot hold ‘me’ – who the Masters have realized to be the Self, the ultimate power – to ransom forever.

Yes, negativities surround me. Yes, the mind plays dirty tricks. But, perhaps, I can see that now. And I can accept without fear that mind is a wonderful servant and a terrible master. It is absolutely necessary to master the mind now, for I have spent enough moments of this precious life in unnecessary worry.

All the Masters, Gods, Spiritual and Religious texts point to one thing from different perspectives – you are not the mind, you are not the body, you are, in true reality, the very power that sustain the body and the mind. It is high time now that I identify myself with my true self – that is the ever blissful and ever peaceful spirit. With Om in my breaths and need be on my lips, I must stand up as what I really am. I am the God’s child and as Allan Watts puts it, “I am not a puppet that life pushes around”. I am the very life that breathes in me. Names are a construction of ego, memories, thoughts, relationships. They don’t exist. That is the reason he suffers. Because the real never suffers. It is time names cease to exist – in mind and as a personality intrinsically and as Guruji says, “Let the Yog take the body atoms in its control and do whatever is fit and best suited for him.”

Cease the mental noise – you can do it; you have done it. Only you can do it. You are under the protection of the Masters, no matter how despicable your condition your mind wants you to believe.

Cease and surrender the mind, body and the entire being to the One power that sustains all. OM
