Just like the heart and lungs, the mind is working all by itself.
Take five minutes to watch the mind and see for yourself.
If you try to stop thinking it just starts right back up again.
Everything it thinks and does, it's doing on its own.
You have almost no control over it.
You can't stop it by controlling it, but you can (eventually) stop it by watching it non-judgmentally.
You are not the body and its senses. You are not the mind and its thoughts. You are the silent Awareness that is aware of them.
Now the big question is... Do you want to wholly and completely BE that Awareness of profound peace, silence and happiness, which is the real you?
Or do you prefer and enjoy the drama and suffering created by the ego/mind? (Many people do, but that's because of the ego/mind.)
Knowingly or unknowingly, this is why people practice meditation.
That which you are knowingly or unknowingly seeking, is what is causing you to seek.
It's calling you to Itself. It's calling you back Home from whence you came, from that far country.
Do you want to "remember" who/what you actually are?
