MIND AGITATED LIES:

[Pravin Kumar]

Mind Agitated Lies:

Truth will make a person look inward and as they do all sorts of things will arise, and because of this inward view the mind becomes agitated and a lie is created to avoid the truth...

Most people unconsciously live a life consumed by a lie more so than one of truth. They believe they're living by truth, but upon further investigation this fallacy is uncovered. On the outside one is totally consumed by the lie which keeps a person locked into it, but this is only because of one's own conditioning that locks you in. Truth will make a person look inward and as they do all sorts of things will arise, and because of this the mind becomes agitated and a lie is created to avoid the truth. Becoming aware of the lies so truth can be revealed is essential in the process of understanding yourself. Sit with the assumption that you will sit in stillness and watch how little stillness there is or just sit and be with whatever is there, that's the truth of stillness. When the mind doesn’t have to push anything away or pull anything in, it is still.

Only agitated energy causes the mind to create a lie, but being with the agitation allows the mind settled. This doesn't mean you don't make changes, but when changes aren't necessary the mind is settled. This is why I don't share about positive versus negative, because if it's negative and you have to pull positive in, it's the same agitation as if you are positive and you push negative away. An agitated mind is a mind that needs things to be a certain way whether it's positive or negative. This is the agitated lie, but the truth is nothing needs to be different than what it is and the mind will only settle when there isn’t the agitated lie of needing to push something away or pull something in...
