mind

I'm taught to recognise my own mind.
It is something which we could only recognise from realising its activities.
In its original state, our mind is strong and unchangeable. When happiness comes, it is drowned in its influence and it's touched! When it is touched, that's when attachment and love comes about.

Who are we behind our bodies?
And look deep into your conscience and ask yourself : what's behind your conscience?
When we do not understand what's our conscience, just like how one does not understand what's sufferring. How would one knows the causes of sufferring, ignorant of the ending of a sufferring, and does not know the way.
As we are so preoccupied with the reasons why a sufferring come about, we forget how to put that sufferring down.
When we have an itch on the hand, why do we scratch our head?

I was once told to separate my mind and my feeling.
It is to open up our mind and differentiate happiness from sufferring.
Both happiness and sufferring are not our orignal set of mind.
Only when feelings are involved, both happiness and sufferring are born.
With our full conscience, we could acknowledge happiness as happiness and sufferring as sufferring. We acknowldege its presence, but it is 'outside' our conscience. That's it. That way, we may still suffer but we are able to see our minds as our minds and feelings as feelings. We will no longer be attached to our feelings and hold on to it.

We will be free.
