NOTICE THE BACKGROUND
We are reading the printed characters on paper but ignore the paper which is the background.
Similarly you are taken up by the manifestations of the mind and let go the background.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
What does it matter however many thoughts rise?
At the very moment that each thought rises, if one vigilantly enquires
"To whom did this rise?', it will be known 'To me.
If one then enquires 'Who am I?", the mind will turn back to its source. and the thought which had risen will also subside.
By repeatedly practising thus,
the power of the mind to abide in its source increases.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
"The secret of health for both mind & body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly."

Spirituality is nothing more than understanding this play of consciousness try to find out what this fraud is by seeking its source.

THREE METHODS ON THE PATH.
SELF SURRENDER
Where we surrender completely to God It means that you have no life of your own. You surrender completely and totally everything to God. Totally Every part of your life goes to God "Not my will. but Thine It means, every decision that you have to make is left up to God. You give your mind to God, totally, completely. absolutely. And that leads you to Self Realization.
MINDFULNESS
Becoming the witness Watching yourself continously Watching your thoughts, watching your actions. Not trying to change anything or correct anything Just observing
SELF ENQUIRY
Asking yourself To whom do these troubles come?
To whom does this karma come? To whom does this suffering come? It comes to me. Well. what is
'me'? Who am I? Where did the I come from?
Following the "I to its source You give nothing up You just become aware of what you're doing. You become a conscious being You become conscious of your actions You become loving compassionate gentle to all people.

everything. You should therefore guide it to create only good."

You need to know the difference between yourself
and the mind and the only way you can know it is from the standpoint of awareness.

CONTROL OF MIND
One of the commonest habits of the mind is its wandering habit. It cannot stick to one point. It's nature is like that of air. Sri Krishna says in the Gita:
*"*O mighty-armed Arjuna! the mind is hard to curb and restless; but it may be curbed through constant practice and dispassion.*"
The destruction of desires and control of the senses are essential steps towards the control of the mind. It is desire that makes the mind restless.
The senses run after objects and the mind also follows them, just as a dog follows the master. Therefore, if you wish to check this wandering nature of the mind, you have to renounce all kinds of desires and control the senses first. Then alone will you be successful in concentration, will-culture, memory-culture, and thought-culture.
#SriSwamiSivananda
"All bad qualities centre round the ego. When the ego is gone,
Realisation results by itself. There are neither good nor bad qualities in the Self. The Self is free from all qualities.
Qualities pertain to the mind only."
