Question: How to stop thinking?
Papaji: By Being! (giggles)
When you think that you are an object, a person, a body, or some other
idea, but by Being there is nothing!
Just Being. And Being is already there. You are always Being. To become
something you must meditate and perform some mantra, ritual, practice.
Just to Be is simple. Without Being you can't do any practice.
So don't think of anything else. Just Be!
It is so easy to Be.
Question: But when I try to just be, so much thinking happens. I am sure everyone has this problem.
Papaji: Thinking happens when you want to become something. Then you must think. But to not become something what is there to do? Stay as you are! Be as you are in whatever circumstances, just always Be, It doesn't need any practice. Whatever you get by practice you will lose, but Being will never be lost because you will not get it by any experience or practice. It simply is, Simply Be.
Don't stir your mind in Being, don't think and don't make effort. I will tell you how to be Being itself. No effort, no thinking. Avoid thinking and avoid not thinking. What is between these two?
