Trying to solve the mind’s problems by the mind itself is like Extinguishing fire by fire
The human mind is a complex and powerful tool that can help us navigate the challenges of life. However, when we try to solve the mind’s problems by relying solely on the mind itself, we can end up making the situation worse. It’s like trying to extinguish a fire by using more fire – the flames will only grow stronger.
From Buddhist philosophy to Sufi mysticism, spiritual teachings have long emphasized the limitations of the mind and the importance of accessing deeper states of consciousness to find true solutions to our problems.
The mind is a tool, not the ultimate reality.
Spiritual practices like meditation, prayer, or contemplation, help us quiet the chatter of the mind and access a more profound sense of peace and clarity
