Why is my mind always talking? Is this self-talk essential or unessential?
Our minds are constantly dominating our lives. We are entrapped by our minds and they become our enemies. Mind has a self-talk mechanism. Having compulsive thoughts is a psychological disorder.
As we have not raised the level of our consciousness, our mind keeps on chattering.
Do this exercise; just as a tiger waits and watches out for its prey, wait and watch out for thoughts that arise. At this moment shut your eyes, and observe the first, second and the third thought in that order. Do it right now.
You will observe that no thoughts arise. When you are alert, thoughts do not arise. In the space of alertness, your ‘presence’ is more conscious. When our ‘presence’ has less consciousness, there are more thoughts.
Hence when the mind is constantly talking, it indicates that your level of consciousness has not increased. More thoughts are a symptom of being less conscious.
Consciously use your self-talk when required and when not required learn to be inwardly empty.
Om Namah Shivay.
