If you want to reach a goal, you must 'see the reaching' in your own mind before you actually arrive at your goal. - Zig Ziglar
There are few persons who have not, at some period of their lives, amused themselves in retracing the steps by which particular conclusions of their own minds have been attained.
Nothing has such power to broaden the mind as the ability to investigate systematically and truly all that comes under thy observation in life.
The mind in itself has no needs, except for those it creates itself. Is undisturbed, except for its own disturbances. Knows no obstructions, except those from within.
If you are pained by external things, it is not they that disturb you, but your own judgement of them. And it is in your power to wipe out that judgement now.
Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?
Sex in the body is fine. Money in the wallet is fine. It is only a problem when they enter your mind.
Mind is not in any one place. Every cell in this body has its own intelligence. The brain is sitting in your head, but mind is all over the place.
The only thing that stands between you and your well-being is a simple fact: you have allowed your thoughts and emotions to take instruction from the outside rather than the inside.
An intellectual understanding that is not backed by experiential knowledge can lead to mind games and deceptive states.
Why do we refer to the mind as a circus? A circus is not a mess; a circus is a very coordinated activity deliberately made to look like a mess. On one level it is a mess, but on another, it is a highly coordinated activity.
To rise above the modifications of your mind, when you cease your mind, when you cease to be a part of your mind, that is yoga.
Only if you know to what extent your logic should go and where it should not go, your life will be beautiful.
