Should I Aspire for a Thought-less State

The second aspect of your quesHon was “Should I aspire for a Thoughtless state -Manonasa, the dissoluHon of the mind, should I aspire for that? So suppose I said “Yes you must”, what is the way in which you will create it? Mostly what will happen is that you will end up just ge^ng frustrated because when you wake up tomorrow morning and the thoughts are there and you will just say “See I sHll haven’t got it and it’s really not working”. But what is happening is that that which is aspiring towards the thoughtless state is then buying more and more thoughts. Someone asked me “How do I get to Manonasa?” I can’t tell you how you can get to Manonasa, but I can definitely tell you how you will not get to Manonasa and how you will not get to Manonasa is by thinking about it. ‘So let me get to the thoughtless state by thinking more and more about the thoughtless state’ that is not possible, because that will then become the mind’s trick to keep you in thoughts, thoughts about thoughtlessness, meta thoughts, is not the way to get out of thoughts. So if it is a feeling in your heart, just keep it in your heart, keep it in your heart [Silence] but don’t make a mental thing out of it and say “Ah I have to get to this” because it’s going to keep you caught up in this idenHty of a ‘Wanter’ and it’s a perfect trump card for the mind.-“Let us today think about how to become thoughtless?” The mind is having a party, “That’s it; I have got this one for at least for ten years now.” Got this one for at least ten years because before this one can figure out that this itself is a big trap and trump card from the mind, he would have spent or she would have spent ten years trying to think about how to become thoughtless and when it is going to happen for them and why it is not happening, which Master is the best to bring me to the thoughtless state and all of these ideas. So don’t pick on this new project. You come to this IntuiHve insight about yourself, that is your only job, in fact your only job is even simpler than that, you let go of whatever your next thought is proposing to you. Let go of that version of reality that your next thought is proposing to you. Every thought is a proposal proposing an idea of what Is. It never is what Is, it can never encompass what Is. So all you have to do is let go of that version of what Is, that is your only job actually because that includes inquiry, that includes surrender, that includes remaining open, all of that.
