Question 16
What Is
The Origin Of The Mind? (08.12.2002)
One question sent to me is this:
“What is the origin of the mind? The answer is simple. There is no
mind, so there is no origin! If there is a mind, you have to trace
out its origin. The mind is non-existent. The mind is only a
bundle of thoughts. The mind is only a bundle of desires. In the
deep sleep state, there is no mind at all. The mind is there in
the dreaming state; the mind is there in the waking state. But the
mind is non-existent in the deep-sleep state.
When thoughts are withdrawn, when
desires are given up, there is no mind. Withdrawal of the mind or
annihilation of the mind is called amanaska or manolaya.
So, the question of the origin of the mind does not arise at all.
