- The mind is not your reality; it
is a false interpretation. You are not the mind, you have never
been a mind, you can never be the mind. That is your problem- you
have become identified with something which is not. You are like a
beggar who believes that he has a kingdom. He is so worried about
the kingdom -- how to manage it, how to govern it, how to prevent
anarchy. There is no kingdom, but he is worried.
- The mind is just like a crowd;
thoughts are the individuals. And because thoughts are there
continuously you think the process is substantial. Drop each
individual thought and finally nothing is left. There is no mind as
such, only thinking.
- Between two thoughts try
to be alert; look into the interval, the space in between. You will
see no mind; that is your nature. For thoughts come and go -- they
are accidental -- but that inner space always remains. Clouds
gather and go, disappear -- they are accidental -- but the sky
remains. You are the sky.
- Wherever you go, your mind is a step
ahead of you. It is not only that it follows you like a shadow, it
is always one step ahead of you, it has reached before you. But you
are never aware of it because it is so transparent. Whenever you
are entering a temple, your mind has entered before you. When you
are going to a friend, when you are embracing him, your mind has
embraced before. And this you can know, your mind is always
rehearsing.
That stepping ahead is always rehearsing. Before you speak, it is always rehearsing what to speak. Before you act, it is always rehearsing what to act. Before you do anything or do not do anything, it is rehearsing. The rehearsal means that the mind is preparing itself before you, it is always one step ahead. And that is a constant, transparent barrier between you and everything else that you will come across, that you will encounter.
- Just watch the body, the mind.
They are not you, you are the watcher. And the watcher is another
name for the buddha.
- So the first thing the koan does
is to make you completely straightforward, pointing to a single
goal, like an arrow. If this is done, soon your mind will be tired.
But if you are saving some energy, your mind will always rejuvenate
itself. The saved energy will never allow you to be so tired and so
exhausted that you simply drop the koan, you simply say, "I am fed
up; I am finished. This is stupid -- there cannot be any sound with
one hand clapping!" At that exhausted moment, mind stops -- tired,
utterly fed up. With the mind stopping, even for a single moment,
in the blink of an eye you are on the other
shore.
- Your mind is very wavering,
wobbly. A koan concentrates all your energies. A koan has not to be
done in a lukewarm way, that is dangerous. It has to be done with
totality, so you can exhaust the mind quickly -- as quickly as
possible.
