How Do You Stop the Mind’s Chatter? – Sadhguru

Sadhguru, I wanted to know that we are silent. Still, we feel that mind chattering which always bothers us. How to get rid of it ? There's a whole lot of talk about this thoughtlessness. Thoughtlessness? No mind. These kinds of terms have been propagated all over the place. And these terms have been badly misunderstood and made into all kinds of things. And people are striving. How to stuff my mind. It took millions of years of evolution to get a mind of this kind of capability. And now you want to stop it. Why is it that you want to stop? If your mind was constantly producing absolute pleasantness for you, would you think? How to stop this mind? No, it's producing lot of unpleasantness. That's why you are thinking of how to stop the mind is the first thing wherever you go in the world. This has gone so much into people's mind. If you tell them, you meditate, they say, But Sadhguru, I am not able to stop my mind. I said, that will happen only after you stop your kidneys, liver, heart, you stop all these things. Then the mind will also stop. Do you want it to stop? No. Then why do you want the mind to stop? You don't mind if your heart is beating? You can meditate. You don't mind if your liver is working, you can meditate, your kidneys are functioning. You can meditate. If your brain functions, you can meditate. What is the problem? You seem to have something against intelligence. This is the conspiracy of the stupid against human intelligence that to meditate means your brain must be frozen. No, you don't have to freeze your brain. We were looking at this yesterday, so we will initiate you to'Shambhavi' it's a simple process there are many ways to do it. This is one simple way, but it's a powerful process. If you sit here, you will see your body is here. Your mind is somewhere. Who you are is somewhere else. Once there is a space between you and the mind, then what the mind is not doing. What the mind is doing is not even an issue. It is like you are stuck in the traffic jam. That's one experience. Suppose you're either standing on chamundi hill or your floating in a hot air balloon and look down at all the traffic very peacefully. Traffic. What is the distance when you're in it? Traffic is a different experience from really high up there sitting in a hot air balloon. You look down you can't even hear the sounds because there's a distance. So once there's a distance between you and your mind's activity, mind is not a problem. Mind is a miracle it is not a problem. And anyway, if thoughts are going continuously, if you are having a mental diarrhea, obviously you ate some bad food, consumed something wrong. What what this wrong thing could be is the moment you identify yourself with something that you are not, then you're finished. Your mind is a continuous run that is no other way. Do what you want. Try as hard as you want. It is not going to stop if you do not identify yourself with anything that you are not you know how to be with everything. You know how to use everything but you are not identified with it. Then you will see if you sit here simply mind will be like this. You want to use it, you can use it. Otherwise it'll be like.
