Self Realization

A great saint, Thaimanuvar, says that mind is a monkey, and that too, not a simple monkey--a drunken monkey. And not only a drunken monkey, but a drunken monkey bitten by a scorpion. Imagine the condition of the mind! How on earth are you going to quiet the mind? It is impossible. So, leave it alone; watch the show. Instead of trying to do something to the mind, watch it. If you know yourself as the Witness of the mind, that is Self-Realization.
