Summary
Why do you think the mind should be kept quiet?
Can you look at the mountain without naming it?
The word is not the thing. When the word comes in between the observer and the observed, it distracts.
Identification prevents you from looking at a human being.
Can you observe your mind chattering?
If you separate yourself from anger, then you try to control, suppress or run away from it; but if you are that, the very thing that you have been calling anger changes completely.
What is a habit?
Why is the mind frightened or bored when it is not chattering?
The word is never the thing. I can paint a picture of that hill but the painting is not the hill.
