00:00The mind talking to itself is like a car accelerating on neutral.
00:05What does that do?
00:06That takes the car nowhere, only heats up the engine and burns the fuel.
00:09And that's how most of us burn down our precious life energy, right?
00:14The car standing on neutral and the RPM is 6000.
00:17Lot of noise and lot of heat and no distance covered.
00:20It just appears something is happening.
00:23Nothing really happens, but the car is built to travel.
00:26So just change the gear and give it a destination.
00:29And all the internal chatter will just stop.
00:32If you don't want the mind to go bonkers playing with itself, then give it a task.
00:37And don't let the mind ever run out of tasks.
00:40The mind is just energy.
00:43You do not give it a purpose solemn enough, the energy will become destructive.
00:48Just keep the mind constructively involved with something proper and purposeful.
00:54And that will require honesty.
