Just observe how the mind settles for all that it does. It has never been trained to be still so it creates things just so it has something to do. It says to do something and then turns around and questions why it was done. It should be treated like it’s an enemy because upon further examination you will find that it is, but it’s not the mind that is the enemy, it’s the conditioning, that is the true enemy.
Needing to constantly do something isn’t the true nature of the mind, it’s only conditioned to be this way and it’s we ourselves consciously or unconsciously who put these habitual mind patterns in place. So learning about your own mind is a way to a freedom to undo what we ourselves have done. This investigating of your mind is not about learning the great secrets of the Universe, it’s more so about getting an understanding of why the things that you do aren’t truly beneficial in the way you live your life. When this is understood why you respond to things in a certain way will be known. After all if you do the things in your life that aren’t beneficial, it should at least be understood why they’re being done…
