The mind is a concept ,the brain is a fact.

[@saurav_advait]

🔅The mind exists in a way it thinks its existence is beneficial to itself. 🔅The mind is very very fluid. It seeks information and then based on its need to protect itself, it takes new identities, new forms. A point may come when it realises that there is no need for that kind of security, no need for identifications with this or that. Then the mind becomes just stil. 🔅Everything belongs to everybody ,any person ever lived is present in your being in somewhere or the other. A brain is a product of a collective evolutionary journey. 🔅Thoughtlessness is not the absence of thought as such. Thoughtlessness is the fulfilment of thought. Thoughtlessness is when thought is not needed any more. You cannot randomly drop thoughts. 🔅We know how to penetrate into things outside of us. But we have not been educated to look into our minds and penetrate into our own intentions and desires and inner structure. 🔅Brain in the human body is the physical ceat of consciousness which is the mind. The mind is pretty much a flexible and liquid fluid entity. 🔅The mind is a concept. The brain is a fact. 🔅The mind exists in itself and the mind can come and go. 🔅Thought is both the lock and the key. Thought is just not the prison and its walls. Thought is also the way, the equipment you can get out of the prison. 🔅Thought has to be used at least initially to understand what is going on. 🔅We have to use the thought as a means to investigate what this is all about. Who are you? Who am I? What are these bondages? What are temptations, desires, fears? 🔅The method for liberation is thought itself. It would be not very wise to drop your weapons before the war is won. 🔅Exercise more thought, think deeply. Think with deep and penetrating thought is that thought gets exhausted or fulfilled. And then you get a glimpse of what you call thoughtlessness. 🔅Think so sharply that the need for thought is brought down to zero at a point. There is nothing left to think. 🔅What is all this and to whom is all this? And if it is to me, what do I get by having it existent to me. 🔅When thought has to sublimate, it will on its own. You don't have to plan for it. Be a sharp thinker, be an inward thinker. 🔅Thought exists by promising that it can bring your inner loneliness and your sense of hollowness to an end. It says, you have problems within, I can solve your problems. 🔅Thought is great as long as it is making some progress. But if the challenge is big and important enough, thought very soon succumbs. 🔅Thought's nature is not very honest. It won't readily admit that it can't help you anymore. So what does it do? It starts running about in circles.

The ego loves private property.👍

[@joyetahazra2864]

The mind exists only as long as you want to believe in it and as long as you see some benefit in having it's exist ,the mind is associated with "i", whatever is happening in the mind has "i" at its center.🙏

Thoughtlessness, therefore is not the absence of thought as such ,thoughtlessness is the fulfillment of the thought .Thoughtlessness is when the thought is not needed any more , you cannot randomly drop thought.

[@daraiusdubash]

There was nobody in the past and who took rebirth as Praveen today. You are the resultant of millions of lives and deaths. Every single creature who has ever been on this planet has contributed to the one you are. The brain is a product of a collective evolutionary journey. The mind can be easily led to rest and it will disappear. The brain will not disappear. The brain in the physical seat of consciousness which is the mind. But the mind is pretty much a. liquid, fluid entity. The very movement of the mind is self-centered, centered on I, centered on the ego. The thing with deep and penetrating thought is that thought gets exhausted or fulfilled. Thoughtlessness is not the absence of thought as such. Thoughtlessness is the fulfillment of thought. Thoughtlessness is when thought is not needed any more. You cannot randomly drop thought. We know how to penetrate in to things outside of us. But we have not been educated to look into our minds and penetrate into our own intentions and desires and inner structure. Be a sharp thinker. Be an inward thinker. Whenever you look at something, always think of the things relation to yourself. Nothing can exist unless you have a stake in it.

পৃথিবীতে মন বলে কিছু নেই, যা পায়, মনকে যেমন আছে তেমনই নিতে হয়, এটাই মানুষের প্রকৃত মহত্ত্ব।
