“The mind is a very intricate machine. It can store memories, past impressions, grudges, criticisms, judgments. It can hold a lot of stuff.

Which is why, when we have a lot going on, we feel sort of stressed and we feel tension because the mind is busy trying to figure out what it should focus on first.”

“The mind is divided, like a rider on an elephant, and the rider’s job is to serve the elephant. The rider is our conscious reasoning-the stream of words and images of which we are fully aware.

“The mind is doubt. Doubt leaves you tired and exhausted. That is why so many people in the world look so sad and serious. Existence
is not serious. Look at the trees, the birds, the flowers, the animals, the rivers and the stars. The whole existence is joy and celebration,
except for man because only man has the freedom to choose between living in the mind or living in the heart.
And man has chosen to live in the mind, because the mind helps in the world to have money, power, position and possessions.
But it destroys everything that is really worth having in life.
We have to choose the heart. Once we have chosen the heart, trust, silence, truth, friendship, trust, compassion, creativity and
freedom starts flowering. And just as you bring light into a dark room and the darkness disappears, the same happens with the
heart. Suddenly your life is full of life, light, joy and truth.
And then all doubts disappear. The heart never doubts, the heart simply knows. God is self-evident for the heart. The heart has its
own approach towards reality. The heart has a direct, immediate connection with reality, with God.
Be in the heart, live through the heart. Nourish the dimension of the heart.”
