It is very hard to forget the mind. The thoughts come bubbling up and bubbling down, and go round and round like a merry-go-round all the time. At one moment, you are thinking about what you are going to cook for supper. The next moment you are thinking, 'Oh, hubby said this to me this afternoon, the BB.' From there it might jump to the kids. From there it might jump to somewhere else, God knows where. 

It is nothing wrong. It is the nature of the mind. Let it happen but don't think that you are making it happen. You are a bystander watching it. And that is how all your mental and psychiatric problems will disappear, by just watching it and letting go. 

Let go, because there is nothing in this world that you can hold fast on to, nothing. Show me anything that you can hold on to. Nothing at all. If you buy a beautiful dress, it's going to last for a little while then you let it go. You might have lovely children. When they grow up and perhaps get married, then they are gone. You can't even hold yourself; you also have to go, so let go. 


If this is the attitude a person could develop - that I just let go - then you will see how much happier you will become. John might say something to Jill which might hurt her. Let go. It's not me that said it, John said it. Let him take the damn burden. It was thrown at me but I'm strong enough not to allow it to hit me. I've let go. 

So when we let go of the turbulence of the mind, we find that stillness which is forever there. And finding that stillness, even momentarily, it will grow bigger and bigger in its expansion. And when it expands so much, nothing can bother you and nothing can hurt you.
