The single most vital step in your journey towards enlightenment is this: Learn to move away from your mind. Every time there is a disruption in the free flow of the mind, the true consciousness grows stronger. You might even catch yourself smiling at the voice in your mind, as you would smile at some naughty pranks of a child. You are no longer that serious about what goes on in your mind all the time, as your consciousness does not depend on it. Even while you indulge in a daily routine like going for a walk or just the office routine, be present in what you do. Feel as if you are the other, just observing the activity performed by your body. Feel your limb movements. Feel your breath. Be the real you, quite distinct from the routine activity. But feel your presence while you are in action. When this process is complied with, it gives great satisfaction and enables you to lure your consciousness away from the mind.
Man has the potentiality to achieve what may be called in metaphysical terms “total consciousness”. You could practice it while living in a mundane existence, by following some simple steps. As a first step man must try to listen to the beats of the inner voice. In this stage man will listen to the sounds of repeated thought patterns and of his old memories. In the metaphysical language this may be called “Watching the Thinker”. It is a simple way of observing the silent activities of the mind, as a passive observer. In this process man is not supposed to judge or deride what he listens to. Man will “realize” that this watching the sense of his presence is not a thought; it arises from an unknown region beyond the mind.
There is a deep sense of tranquility and quietude and a seamless joy that is felt deep within. In this metaphysical state, man will feel a mysterious emanation of joy arising from the deep bottoms of the consciousness; this may be called the joy of being. When on this level of existence, man is more alert and aware. At this instant, man is fully aware of his environment and is re-energized by the union with his consciousness. As he drifts further into this mindless realm, he realizes his true self. When experiencing this state, he feels his existence with such ecstasy that nothing else stands in comparison. In this state, he loses his self and goes beyond serving the mind. Man has become a Living Being true to Himself. This is the crux of being with the soul and the mind, at all times.
