Words from the Master

A small story:

One day, there was an accident on the road.
People gathered around and saw that a brand new car had crashed against a wall.
They asked the driver, “Sir, why are you driving the car if you don’t know how to drive properly?”
“Of course I know how to drive,” replied the man, “I only don’t know how to stop.”

(Loud laughter!)

The man knew how to drive but did not know how to stop. You are also driving a vehicle, which you don’t know how to stop. It is a very dangerous thing. Your Mind is a like vehicle that you don’t know to stop. Just try to stop your inner chatter, even for a few seconds…
Can you?
When you try to control it, the gush of thoughts becomes even more uncontrollable because you have one more added thought that you have to stop it!
You are not driving your mind – your mind is driving you!

To understand worry, we need to have a deep insight into the nature of our minds.
The way to Worry is through the mind - and the way out can also be only through the mind. But we keep searching for answers in all the wrong places, we search outside all the time without looking deeply into the root of worry. We think, If I had more money, all my worries will be over! If I was more good-looking… If I had a better job… If… If… If…

The solution cannot be found in outer world things. It can be found only inside ourselves.
