“…when this thinking stops, you are above the thoughts. I would say to give it a similitude, that the waves of thought come and go away. Another thought comes and goes away. We are jumping on the cusp of the thought all the time. Supposing we can just get in the center of the thought, that is the present. If we can, could stop at the present moment, then we are not worried about the thoughts. Like the waves of water, if you are in the waves, you are frightened of that. But supposing you are in a boat then you can see the waves and enjoy them. In the same way what happens to you that you jump up to a higher state of existence through which you see the thoughts if you want, you don’t want to see you can, you need not see. Now the thoughts that you see also, are very wide and deeper where you get inspirations.” © Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, photo @cristina_malaguti
