We all accept death as an undeniable truth. This body, along with all its experiences, knowledge, memories, and whatever it has acquired, will eventually perish one day. But something within us never dies. It remains constant—unchanging. It was there before us, and it will remain after us. That eternal, infinite, peaceful, silent, and ever-present existence is our real self.
If one wants to understand it, they must let go of every type of thought and imagination. This understanding will only dawn when we realize we are not just this body—we are the consciousness beyond it.
Our mind must remain still and pure. Only then can it go beyond every movement, thought, and imagination. The mind asks questions, desires, and craves. But when it is present in the moment—when it becomes still in the stillness of every experience—it becomes free of attachments and fears.
However, this is extremely difficult, because our mind remains trapped in the world of images, thoughts, and ideologies. It constantly seeks support and familiarity, making it afraid to step beyond the known. The mind constantly compares, and this keeps it bound in the chains of the past and future. It forgets the reality of the present moment.
Is it possible for the mind to be completely still? The mind holds on to memories, experiences, and emotions. It is impossible for the mind to move towards liberation as long as it is carrying the burden of the past. The mind cannot comprehend the formless, the unknown, or the infinite. It only knows what is finite, limited, and describable.
Can silence be defined? Can simplicity be captured in words? Can it be bound by beliefs? Can it be understood by the mind that is driven by desires, pleasures, and ambitions?
Can the mind, which always seeks something, truly know joy? Can it ever understand what it cannot grasp? The mind that is stuck in the known, in what the eyes see and the intellect interprets—can it realize what lies beyond? Can This Unknown can be grasp by Our narrow, self-centered, and limited mind?
Still Mind is in The Now
So, how can we truly know ourselves? How can the mind cross into timeless living? Is there any method or rule for this? Is there a set path? Who will show us the way? Is it something a guru, scripture, meditation, or method can provide? Can we find it through social media or by following others?
The truth is, the mind should simply observe—its actions, thoughts, and feelings. Not analyze them, not get trapped in imagination or theories. Our thoughts often observe only from the perspective of the thinker itself, which keeps perception caged within the mind.
We are not truly looking at our mind—we are looking through our mind. Perhaps in a moment of silence, when you are not trying to fix your mind but are simply with it, as a mother is with her child, that presence holds awareness and clarity.
Still Mind Has No Path
The truth is what is. It doesn’t need a path. It doesn’t need a guide. This is not something that can be achieved by any technique or motivational trick. The relationship between our inner reality and the outer world must be understood directly.
We must learn to observe without intellectual analysis. True understanding lies in direct perception.
We have created images of ourselves—religious ideas, political opinions, and all the symbols, beliefs, and ideologies that come with them. These images define us, but they also limit us. They keep us from true freedom.
If we don’t challenge this, if we don’t explore this deeply, we will remain trapped. True freedom is born from this inward revolution—not in the outer world of power and praise, but in the inner world of presence and perception.
Stillness Breaks All illusions
Everything stored in our mind—our thoughts, ideas, and conditioning—makes up the content of our mind. This content is shaped by our family, caste, religion, and country. This psychological world of content keeps us all trapped.
We are all alike, bound by the same conditioning. However, this content separates us into individuals. It gives rise to comparison, pain, gain, success, and failure. We experience joy and sorrow through the lens of this individual identity.
We only know ourselves in relation to others. When we react without any real choice, without any motive, reward, or punishment—only then do we glimpse what freedom feels like.
Only Still Mind Can Understand what freedom means
Freedom means living without being driven by psychological pain or pleasure. True freedom is the state in which we live without being tied to constant thought patterns.
Most of our thoughts come from the past, and hence our mind functions mostly within the boundaries of past, present, and future. Because of this, we never come to know timelessness. We remain slaves to our thoughts our entire life, unaware of real freedom.
But as we begin to pay attention to ourselves, to our daily life, to the functioning of our thoughts, we start noticing something different. We begin to observe the movement of thoughts and the space between the thinker and the thought, the observer and the observed, the experiencer and the experienced.
This separation is false—it’s imaginary. This division is an illusion.Then we are able to see ourselves. Then we are our whole mind in this moment. Can see. Then we get true insight about ourselves. Which breaks the deep layers of our mind.
Intelligence is the Creation Of Still Mind
People talk about intelligence. When the mind is completely independent from its past, from its thoughts, from its individuality, only then will it be able to act in this world with intelligence and compassion. Stillness of mind creates intelligence which is beyond Time and Thought.
Look at yourself. Be cautious about your life. Don’t just speak, listen also. Understand your inner life as well as your outer world. Look at yourself. Is myself. Seeing in this moment is the beginning of change. Do your daily work carefully. You will find that the intensity of seeing the smell is increasing. Do not indulge in the thoughts of your mind or interpret them. Let the mind perform its actions with freedom. Just keep looking at Svanch with AHerion. From today, from this very moment.
Dear readers As you journey back into your daily life, carry this truth with you: the still mind is your true sanctuary. Beyond the chatter of thoughts lies a space untouched by time and turmoil — your essence. Return to it often, not by force, but by surrender. For in stillness, you don’t lose yourself — you find who you truly are.
Thank you for taking the time to journey through these words. May the stillness within you deepen, guiding you gently toward peace, clarity, and presence. Your attention is sacred — I’m truly grateful you shared it here.
