Unruffled And Calm Mind

The mind that remains unruffled and calm is the same imperturbable, unattached and unfettered mind. It is the ultimate mind of mastery, achievable only through rigorous training, and equally rigorous soul-searching and spirit-forging through the confrontation and overcoming of our own fears and weaknesses.


How achieve this? The same way as we do the bigger filters: simply letting the thoughts float by. Recognizing when the ego wants to grab onto those thoughts. Refusing to let it. It takes practice and patience. You don’t have to remove it entirely. Recognizing it will make it much easier to keep control, and when you do, your whole life will be changed.
