Do we have a mind? All the time, we are thinking. The mind produces a thought practically every second. It can produce up to 50,000 thoughts a day. If we are not the body, then are we the mind?
The mind does not even sleep. Even when the body sleeps, it continues to dream and creates fantasies or nightmares. The mind seems to be in control of our life, and we say, 'I am happy, I am worried.' Who is the one who is joyous or miserable? Is it the mind?
The mind is like a monkey. It is constantly jumping from thought to thought. It takes us to the past that is gone, and the very next moment to the future not yet born. Those who think we are the mind must go in quest to find it. We can find our nose, our ears, our hands, and our feet. But if we try to find the mind, we can't. Most people think that the mind is the brain, but even science considers the brain to be connected to the nervous system that has neurons in every part of the body. In that sense, the mind is everywhere. But unfortunately, nobody has seen the mind. We believe that we have a mind, or we are the mind. But this is a myth. The mind is just a bundle of thoughts. In reality, it does not exist. The Mind, along with the Ego, becomes the ME that takes rebirth. If we cannot find the mind, then what is the Truth? Are we the ego?
