Qn: As a child, I experienced states of complete happiness verging on ecstasy, but not lasting!
Ans: How can anything be steady in an unsteady mind.
Qn: How to make the mind steady?
Ans: Refuse all thought except I am. Once quiet, things will begin to happen spontaneously. Avoid the protracted battle with the mind.
True happiness cannot be found in changing things. The mind is restless like the reflection of moon in water, stirred by wind. Pleasure and pain alternate inexorably.
The self stand beyond the Mind, aware but unconcerned.
Qn: How to reach it?
Ans: You are the Self. Leave the mind alone. Stand aware and unconcerned. Watch events come and go.
Qn: I need peace to be happy. I have what I don't want and want what I don't have!
Ans: Guided by memory, You have been pursuing the pleasant and shunning the unpleasant.
Qn: Desire for pleasure and fear of pain are states of distress. Is there a state of unalloyed pleasure?
Ans: Pleasures, physical and mental, need an instrument. It is a vicious circle. Be alert, question, investigate and examine the gaps in the waking state-the mind blanking out.
Detach from all restlessness. Seek a clear mind and heart. Enquire into your Real Nature.
