Don’t be so quick to believe in the mind’s projections. You are not the mind. Don’t come under its spell. The mind is a great magician. It has hypnotised 7 billion human beings. In the realm of personhood, it is full of tricks and has the power to make a lot of mischief, confusion, distortion and delusion. But yours is a greater power. It is the power of the pure Self. The power to observe with detachment, to recognise that all phenomena are transient appearances and that oneself is the formless witness—timeless and ever-perfect.
