Aum Watch the mind, try to understand firsthand the dynamic of the mind. You know the mind by observing the mind.The mind is something like an incessant noise inside. Suppose the same noise comes from outside, can I tolerate it, can I stand it? No. But the same noise inside is tolerated and it continues on and on all because of one critical factor that is identification. You break the bond of identification consciously. It requires earnestness. The way to do it is step back and watch this noise in the mind. Watch the inner noise called mind without identifying, kind of externalise this noise. Understand ego is the part of this noise. In fact, ego is the nucleus around which this noise whirls. See this dynamic of the mind by stepping back. You need earnestness not to identify. You need courage if you will not to identify. As you watch, a noisy mind becomes quiet and that is meditation. Watch the mind, try. When the noise subsides (6;55) is pure being, which is very quiet. Being is freedom. As being I need nothing because there is no want. As being I fear nothing because there is nothing to be afraid of. Just Be. Being is free from wants whereas thoughts breed wants. Just Be. Being is freedom from fear, insecurity and worry. It is the thought which breeds fear, insecurity and worry. Leave thought alone, don’t fight thought, don’t make an enemy of thought, just leave it. How? By denying attention, identification. Leave thought alone and just be. No need to scale mountains, to do big things, the natural things happen naturally. I allow things happen as they must, I just Be. Just Be. A quiet mind tends to become dull, that should be arrested by looking at the posture, stretching the back upwards. Imagine a string on the top of the head pulling upwards, press the legs to the ground, keep hands and shoulders loosely, that drives away any stress. Be conscious of that. Sport a smile and just be. Can I be without being this or that ? Can I be without a name? Interesting. Am I the name ? I be without a name. Can I be without a title or relation like father, mother, daughter etc. ? Yes. Can I be without any possessions? Could be scary, leave it at that and just be. Can I be without a regional or racial identity? Yes. That is simple, just be. Can I be a human being, meaning, a being with a human form, nothing more, only that much, the being with a human form?  Yes, that is simple and beautiful. Being with a human shape. Why any form? The being without a form. Try. Being, knowing itself or better shining as the knowing is jnana-ganga, being shining as the knowing is the sacred Ganges and meditation is the sacred bath. Just Be. Aum shanti shanti ShantiH. Relax, sit at ease and relax. Slowly open the eyes. Aum
