WAYS TO CALM THE MIND

Some people ask me about the ways to calm, quieten and silent the mind. I have mentioned those ways earlier. But who makes an effort to follow it with sincerity of the heart? One who tries achieves it. First way is to develop awareness to separate yourself from all the functions of the mind. This needs to be done with knowledge and wisdom. Then try not taking any part in the activities of the mind. Just keep watching it with even handedness and equanimity without taking any part in it. If this is done in a right way you will definitely experience the quietude of the mind. The other way is to throw out whatever springs up in the mind and concentrate it on naam-smaran, guru bhavna or peaceful heart center.
