You can’t stop your mine using your mind!
I give a slightly different example
You can’t stop the merry go round by sitting in the merry go round !
The mind is the merry go round. Constantly active. Thinking. Getting upset. Getting happy. Analyzing. Reading. Understanding. Drawing conclusions. None of those things will take you to God !
Silly isn’t it ? That’s all everyone does. Read. Read.
Of course some reading is needed. Only to reinforce. And get you convinced – meditate. Trust me. A very long battle
Then learning the right technique to meditate. Imagination – like think of an ocean won’t help. Or listening to a tape. That won’t help either. **There is a specific technique that helps. Some call it kriya yoga. But they have no clue how to do it properly. Just because you took lessons from A blog or subscription won’t help.
Others call it make maha yoga. I have never revealed the technique online **
Everyone calls it by a different name. People latch on to the different names …… and now they feel good. Important. Start teaching Others. And if life circumstances are good the credit goes to the technique
However I do not seek people like that. They are dime a dozen Those with the correct technique. Correct understanding. They have something different. There is something tangible. Life will continue to challenge you. After all karma will pursue you relentlessly. But karma should not change your inner peace
Many people lose peace. Why ? They hold on to desire. Desire is the single most thing that will destroy you. Now and in future.
A short prayer
Just say no to MR desire.
Mr Desire , you have been my enemy for many births. I no longer wish for your association. I would rather be truly alone without you. If you come knocking on my door, I know it is like Satan knocking on it. I will no longer talk with you. Or fall prey to your evil company. With Gods Grace and the company of enlightened ones, Mr desire I will be rid of thee. Enlightened beings I am in thy light. Please burn the desires quickly. I only seek the light of God

Great post! Yes, Satan seems to be over at my house every day lately. Tempting me to sin sin sin

The Bible says – give tie heart to God. The heart when given to god does not have temptation
However when the heart is not given to God, the mind may refuse the desire but it hurts when the desire is not fulfilled
The heart or mind given to God is known as purity
Such a person is totally comfortable with all the temptation given to him in a plate – he laughs and says your worth nothing compared to my true love which is God. I spit on thee ( desire )
