The mind game or the games of the mind!!!

Albert Einstein said  "We have been all wrong.  What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses.  There is no matter."   

He just quoted from 7000 year old Vedanta ( which he was proficient in ) which clearly stated Maya, the illusion often mistaken for reality.

Time is in essence a grand illusion that has taken a hold of our consciousness and conditioned our reality to believe in it, thus we then become enslaved by the illusion and suffer the karmas associated with it. 





Though various theories and concepts about "Maya" or the grand illusion exist, the fun being that the human mind, yes, our own mind that gives rise to, entertains and sustains this "Maya".

The mind that wishes to be on top of others, be in control of situations, prove its worthiness to others, lead one into negativity and habits, delusion and sorrow has itself no existence when questioned into.

Is the mind thriving on this world as its fodder or is it that the mind has created this world as its fodder!!!

Ever eluding its self destruction, the mind merrily creates bodies for the fulfillment of its desires and destroys the same body in an attempt to fulfill it.

It continues the cycle with uninterrupted diligence using the "Maya" or the delusion as the support for its existence.

What has got me here? Have I ever been here before? What am I trying to achieve? What will I do if I achieve what I want to..

Will the mind ever be satisfied!!!!!

It will merrily sing its way to searching a new body for continuing the vicious cycle and furthering itself to darkness and delusion!!!

Oh mind...When will you be a "no mind"!!!!
