The restless Mind

 

 

Contentment is never the outcome of fulfillment, of achievement, or of the possession of things; it is not born of action or inaction. It comes with the fullness of what is, not in the alteration of it. That which is full does not need alteration, change. It is the incomplete which is trying to become complete that knows the turmoil of discontent and change.

To be aware of discontent is to be aware of what is, and in the fullness of it there is a state which is called contentment.

The controlling of thought that leads to the calming of desire or merely to its suppression and will bring other and deeper problems.

 An occupied mind is not a free mind, and surely it is only the free mind that can be aware of timeless creativity.

Desire is ever seeking fulfillment, attainment, and it is this movement of desire which must be understood and not driven away or under.

The action and reaction of the mind, of thought, are almost simultaneous and almost automatic. The whole conscious and unconscious process of accepting and denying, conforming and striving to be free is the evolution to the true source.

The feeling of envy cannot be separated from the experienced of that feeling, though an illusory division exist which breeds conflict, and in this conflict the mind is caught. When this false separation disappears, there is a possibility of freedom, and only then is the mind still. It is only when the experience ceases that there is the creative movement of the real. 

To delve in to matter which matters little or even nothing is the dust in the eyes, then even a plain thought gets tangled when told to somebody who struggles to see the truth.
