Re: What’s in your mind today?

What is in my mind today , like most days is to be rid of the mind. A collection of thoughts, a bundle of thoughts that come-and-go during the day. This mind is looking for something, yet itself has no real basis. It is there in wake, and I have some control of it, in dream it becomes a creator, and in deep sleep it no longer exists. How then can I trust it to be real ?
Now to just ~want~ to get rid of the mind is a mere fancy. It takes some doing, but this is just said because we are human and we are use to 'doing' , which the mind enjoys. So, to get rid of this thief one must do nothing, absolutely perfectly. Then the thief leaves the building.
When one does nothing, perfectly, even while walking, talking , eating, sleeping, etc. then they are considered established in Being. Then one's dwelling (kṣaya - dwelling place) is the Self and is nirvicāra(perfectly pure) even if wallowing in the mud (mundane life).
