hello Jitendra!
Why would we want to turn off our thoughts?
Do thoughts not promote analytical thinking??? How else were you able to share your deeper desires here?
Love you my friend.
Ty for these post...
Until u go into the earth and search for diamonds and coal it is only conjecture that it is there. There r plenty of activities to be involved with on the surface of the earth. However u cannot get the oil unless u go underneath. Likewise u can talk and think and analyze about the brain and its thoughts but until u shut them off u will not know what is underneath those thoughts. Living in analytical thinking is only one dimension and leaves us very cold and calculating if we r unable to get beyond the facet of thoughts. Unless we experience what is beyond thought; how else will we be able to share our deeper experiences of bliss? Analytical thinking and sharing desires are only one facet of the totality of human consciousness-very limited indeed-and extremely unbalanced if they r experienced to the exclusion of other states of consciousness. Because of a lack of experience in meditation and a lack of faith in the process most people live most of their lives in their heads and emotions never experiencing anything beyond these tremendous self imposed limitations.
Unless u believe someone when they say that there is gold in a certain mine that they have found u will not go there to see if it is there. If they show you the gold they have found your faith in them increases. Likewise until u have found someone that exhibits the bliss and happiness u r looking for u will not believe that u can also have it. Once u have met such a person though.... your faith increases. When they tell u that u too can have it if u practice meditation you are more likely to believe that possibility. If someone says "Just follow this map and go to the place where u find on the map and you will find gold" and you do it and then find gold... your faith in that person will increase radically. Like wise if a true guru gives u a road map to happiness and bliss and following it you find that you too are experiencing happiness and bliss at various times.... your faith and belief in that person increases exponentially.
If on the other hand u find this gold and come back and say 'even though i found some gold it was just coincidence and i have no faith or belief that you can tell me where some more of that gold is located'. Do you think that that person will suggest where you may find more? Would you help them further? No u would not and they will not. Because your faith and belief in them and what they have already showed them is lacking and they know that because of that lack of faith and belief you are capable of treachery and lying about the good fortune u have been given.
