Please don’t ‘mind’

Please don't 'mind'

Once a Zen master and his monk were travelling together down a muddy road. A heavy rain was falling. As they come round a bend, they met a lovely girl in silk kimono and sash, unable to cross the intersection because of the mud.

'Come on girl' said the Zen master at once. Lifting her in his arms, he carried over the mud. The monk was upset and did not speak until late night when they reached the monastery.

Then he could no longer restrain himself. "We monks" he said, "Don't go near females, especially young and lovely ones, It is dangerous, Why did you do that? "

Zen Master replied "I left her there long back, why are you still carrying her?"

This how we are, most of the time we are not even carrying the lovely girl, we are carrying the mud in our head.  

we get overwhelmed by the amount "Things to Do" in our life.

In order to prepare for a better tomorrow we are losing our today, the present the 'right now!'

There are so many things stuffed in our mind. Mind is very powerful it controls our actions, emotions and our experience.  It keeps us always busy and ensure that we don't enjoy the present moment 'the right now' , we are trapped in our mind. 

One way to come out of mind is knowing you have thoughts and you are not your thoughts, you have emotions but you are not your emotions, you have feelings but you are not your feelings.

You have the power to choose your thoughts, actions and feelings.

Now you can drop the young lady!
