Dethrone the mind

By Mooji:

The essence of all Scriptures, in a nutshell, is this: You yourself are the fulfilment of any Scripture by doing absolutely nothing. You are the Highest. You cannot be achieved at all. You cannot be understood or perceived. Stay as the formless.

Drop everything and don't touch anything, any idea about yourself. Drop it and then drop the idea of dropping.

Okay, I'm not anything that I can perceive, but now what? There is always stuff to be noticed.

And there is always stuff to be ignored!

Mind operates on the notion that if you do this thing and then this other thing, then you're going to receive some reward. The mantra of the mind is: 'If... Then... Maybe...' It always pursues through promises, always later, always some conditions. It's the avoidance of the mind, never now, it's never fine as it is. Because these ideas of things to do, to improve, to fix, and so on, keep it alive and important. It is telling us: "Come on, man! You can't do without me! If you ever try, I warn you, your life will be a complete mess!"

That's why we say you have to dethrone your mind, not kill it. How could you? But it is presently your guru, you trust its voice, even though one minute it is saying: 'I love you,' the next 'I hate you...' How can you trust this mind?

Still somehow we seem to enjoy this game. We love the unpredictability and the friction. In a strange way we seem to even enjoy turmoil. Let's admit it.
