Thank you for such an explicitly clear teaching Tom. You’ve addressed every loophole the mind is able to come up with and distilled it all into the only possible truth…Be still and know. 🙏🏻❤❤❤

The more you engage with thoughts, the less happy you'll be. The less you engage with thoughts, the more happy you'll be. The happier you are, the more you're comng back to your Self. This is why we want to be happy. Because what we actually want is Liberation. All the things you think you want, you don't actually want them. Think of the things you want, whatever it is. Those objects, those gross objects, those subtle objects. Those things, those experiences. Maybe what others think of you, maybe certain material objects, maybe position in society. Maybe to look a certain way or to be a certain way. Or to be able to do certain things. Have certain experiences. You don't actually want any of that stuff. No, the mind makes you think you do. You just want to be happy and full and free. Be your Self. You don't want to be loved, you don't want to be understood. You don't want to be rich, you don't want to be famous, you don't want to be attractive. You don't want to be well thought of, you don't want to be well-regarded. You don't want that car or that house or that relationship. Again, I'm not saying "don't have these things", I'm not saying "don't have these things". I'm saying "you want to be free, you want to be your Self, you want to know yourself as God". These other things are just proxies for that. They're just approximations. Attempts to try and experience your true divine nature. Consciously or unconsciously, this is what you're trying to do. You're trying to become one with God. One with Bhagavan, one with your Self. You're trying to know your own true nature. Be your Self. Come home. Just through distortion and illusion, you're going the wrong way. Bhagavan gives us the map, the correct map to follow to find the treasure. Not the dodgy map that takes us the wrong way, that doesn't take us to the treasure, even though it says it does, it doesn't. Bhagavan's teachings are a treasure map. His map doesn't come from the mind, it doesn't come from the ego.
