But the mind keeps running the show. So how do you stop it? Here are some suggestions that helped me: First and utmost, forget about trying to stop your mind. You'll be using another part of your mind to assert efforts against itself, which is like trying to dry a wet floor by pouring water on it. Every time you try to stop your mind you give it more fuel that increases its activity. Instead, watch your mind in action. Observe what it does and if it tends to hold onto something. Don't judge it. Don't try to change anything. Be fascinated with what you notice and appreciate it. Gradually reduce and stop all the efforts. Don't try to be anything. Accept and love what is. From this observing space notice that the Observer is not your mind. It is not even you (as you are used to know yourself). If you find that any part of yourself is doing the observing then put your attention on that part of YOU and observe it. Then notice again the Observer. Keep bringing your attention back to the Observer until nobody is there, only pure Awareness present in the void, not affected by anything around it (or within it). Here, YOU have let go of yourself and your mind. Rather than YOU or your mind running the show, you have brought them Home. Realize that this empty space, the presence in the void is your True SELF. It is the Non-Dual Source of all there is. Choose to align with this Truth, this Awareness and let it direct your mind and your being. Your mind will humbly submit to it. (I am sure that Kacper can offer additional guidance and suggestions if needed.) Papaji’s challenge is actually of stopping the mind. But the mind keeps running the show. So how do you stop it?

Many of them have helped me tremendously and I am ready to take the next step. I will not search endlessly for this next step. I have a feeling that it will just happen. Instead of great effort, I feel that it will be effortless when it does happen. I will allow it to happen. My grandmother passed away recently. I have not seen much death in my life and I thought that I would feel empty, like something was missing. The exact opposite happened to me. I felt joy! I felt closeness. I have never felt something so powerful in my life. She is with me and truly a part of me everyday. Her true self and true energy flows through me constantly and that makes me feel so alive! There have been more and more people that have come into my life recently and I just have that beautiful feeling that I am a part of them and I can really feel it deeply. Almost a deja-vu feeling but a million times better. The world is full of amazing people and you are all one of them. Scott Yes there have been many great pointers to guide us in the right direction.

It's really mandatory for the individual to understand the real self in this relentless mystic world. Where people get engrosed themselves in the ambiguous situations and once entered are not able to move out of that vicious web. I have no clue of whether u'll be reading this feedback or not. But I just wanted to flow with the thoughts........... Could you please take some of your precious time and assist me for letting me aware of my own self. Thanks best regards Anuradha Dear Friend,
