• 7. Understanding that thoughts are unrelated to the happenings in the world. ( from the media section..)
• i. Imagine the tape you are listening to is silent and has no content for just 2 minutes. What happens? Your mind races. Thoughts flood you. What has happened you wonder, what has gone wrong? Why are there no words?
• ii. Nothing has gone wrong. Nothing at all. Your mind cannot tolerate silence, that is all. Thoughts and words are a call of your consciousness telling you that your center is unfilled.
• iii. There are 2 kinds of people. One kind is the people who follow words and seek meaning behind the words. Another kind is those who ignore the meaning and seek the source of thoughts. The first kind is the Commissar and the second kind is the Yogi.
• iv. Seeking words and thoughts cannot fulfill you. When you seek words you move into the outer world. You move into the space of sense objects which results in

pain or pleasure. However many times you may experience the physical or sensual pleasure led, by your thoughts you still keep seeking the same pleasure. What one calls karma, is really the effect of these unfulfilled desires.

• v. The meaning of thoughts and words is not to provoke movement towards these external experiences that can never be fulfilled, but to move towards the center, the core of your being. Only there will you find the comfort in silence.
• vi. Words soothe your superficial mind the same way as scratching an itch seems to provide some comfort. In actual fact it makes the problem worse. It is the same with words. The more words you use the more confused you are. Be careful of all those scholars and philosophers who use highly complex language and words to propound their theories. They themselves do not understand what they are saying, so they are forced to confuse others by using complexity as a tool.
• vii. Whenever you ask questions, more questions arise. This is seen as the measure of intelligence in our system of education. When one really understands, one realizes that questions and answers do not lead to any understanding at all. Secondly one realizes that understanding happens when thoughts cease.
• viii. Truth resides in silence. Truth resides in contemplation. As you move inwards towards the source of words and thoughts, mind becomes still in simplicity. This stillness this silence leads to fulfillment.
