The Mind and How to Use it. Nisagardatta Maharaj.

Descripción:

Fifth in a series of videos based on the teachings of Nisargadatta Maharaj. This chapter looks at the movement of thought and the possibility of stillness. The videos take common seeker questions – each one is then presented as a chapter with a focused theme. The words are not taken directly from the texts – they are reinterpretations of the publicly available translations revised to aid clarity – the context remains true to the teachings. 00:00 — What is the mind? 0:54 — Why does the mind keep moving? 01:34 — Can the mind ever be still? 02:13 — How do I quiet the mind? 02:52 — Is the mind my enemy? 03:34 — What happens when the mind is silent? 04:17 — Can understanding alone bring peace? 05:01 — What is the role of memory and imagination? 05:41 — How do I deal with obsessive thoughts? 6:17 — What remains when the mind is not active?
