CAN’T STOP THE THOUGHTS – PART 2

  • Jun 11, 2020
  • 1 min read

 

A trick of the mind.

 

Little “m”-mind asks

Why am I here?

What is the meaning of life?

 

But little “m” mind’s answer

Is not good enough:

It asks the question

And answers the question.

 

Zen Mind says:

Go deeper.

Go deeper.

 

Ask instead –

Why are you asking?

Ask instead --

Who’s asking?

 

Zen Mind

Demands

The answer

Comes from

Within.

Go deeper.

Go deeper.

 

So sit.

Just sit.
