You can't point a finger to the location of the mind.
The mind is not a physical object, it is an occurrence.
This one sentence above has profound implications on how we perceive ourselves.

You need to forgive people for your own benefit; not theirs.
Chances are you carry their misdemeanour in your head more than they do in theirs.

This is the reply that the Zen master gave to the exhausted man. Maybe it helps you too.

At the end of the day, don't forget to Let Go.
▪️ Let go of today
▪️ Let go of all negative emotions
▪️ Let go of all tension in the body
▪️ Let go of expectations from tomorrow
Attachment to any particular experience is a trap in your spiritual journey.
Experience. Act. Move on.

Once upon a time, a man got really weary of the daily grind.
Never ending responsibilities.
Impossible deadlines.
One problem after another.
One day just blurred into the next.
He approached an old Zen master for guidance 👇

Overthinking is a disease.
Sadly, we have normalised overthinking to such an extent, we don't even recognise it.
Meditation in a closed, safe environment is easy.
But it is your dealings with people in the outside world that is a true indicator of your progress in the spiritual journey.
Everything goes away.
Nothing stays forever.
Hence, you own nothing. It is all on rent.
When you forget this, you create your own suffering.

You can't get rid of problems in life.
But you can certainly change your relationship with problems.
Do what you can. Let the rest simply be.

First, my successes became empty.
Then, my failures became empty.
Slowly, I stopped caring about the two,
Finally, all my desires became empty.
Now, I just have a few attachments left....but I know where they too are headed.

Pain is compulsory.
It comes with life.
Suffering is optional.
It comes from the mind.
