Thoughts carry weight. Too much thinking can block you out of reality and the moments you need to experience.
Someone once said, “I think therefore I am.” But is that really true? It is only because you exist that you can generate a thought.
Your thought process has become so compulsive, and your focus has shifted from your existence to your thought to such an extent, that you now believe that you exist because you think.
Even without your silly thoughts, existence is. What can you think, really? Just the nonsense that you have gathered and recycled. All you are doing is recycling old data. This recycling has become so important that people dare to say “I think, therefore I am.” And that has become the world’s way of life.
If you choose, you can fully be and still not think. The most beautiful moments in your life – moments of bliss, joy, ecstasy, utter peace – were moments when you were not thinking about anything. You were just living.
Do you want to be a living being or a thinking being? Right now, 90 per cent of the time you are only thinking about life, not living life. Have you come here to experience life or to think about life? Everybody can think up their own nonsense whichever way they want; it need not have anything to do with reality. Your psychological process is a very small happening compared to the life process, but right now it has become far more important. We need to shift the significance to the life process once again.
