00:00Strengthening the mind. There are many practices like yoga and meditation, but for how long should one practice it?
00:05The mind is like a building. The building that has been conceived by, designed by, built by and maintained by
00:14the ego.
00:15What do you do with a building when you don't like it much?
00:18Either rebuild it, reconstruct it or simply renovate it, furnish it, take some items out, get new curtains, raise a
00:28wall somewhere.
00:29But the house doesn't do all this, the building doesn't do all this for itself.
00:35So talking of the mind is like shifting the spotlight away from the real doer.
00:42A crime happened in a building. Do you ever launch an FIR against the building? Do you do that?
00:49And if you do that, then for sure you are trying to save the real criminal.
00:56Somebody is killed inside a building. And what does the FIR mention? The building and not the killer.
01:05Surely somebody is trying to save the killer, right?
01:09Similarly when we say, let's silence the mind, let's bring the mind to peace.
01:13Then we are taking attention away from the place where the real mischief is.
01:20And that place is called the ego.
01:24The ego is the runner of the mind, the creator and the operator.
01:28The mind in some sense is a fortress around the ego.
01:32So in name of all the meditation practices, the ego unfortunately succeeds in not looking at itself.
01:43Whereas the original purpose is always to bring the ego to the mirror.
01:48We do not break the head.
