We look outside, we never look into the mind. Looking into the mind is what meditation is all about Bodhidharma, the real founder of Zen, used to say, “Looking face to face with the mind is all. Looking directly into your mind is all.’ Once you start looking directly you will be surprised. You will come to know that you are carrying a madman; not one really, a madhouse — many madmen inside, running hither and thither, all against each other, fighting, struggling, warring. If you look deep inside into the mind directly, first you will be amazed, mystified as to why you go on carrying this mind. And the second thing you will realise is that you are not the mind, you are the looker, the watcher, the witness, who is seeing into the mind. And that will give you a freedom that you have not yet known. You are confined in the body, then you are confined in the mind. Once you come to know that you are neither the body nor the mind, suddenly you become unconfined — you are as big, as vast as the sky. Then there is no boundary line around you; then you are one with this ocean of life; then you are one with God.’That art thou — ‘TAT TWAMASI.’ Then you come to know that ‘i am that’, the witness.
