Fishing Without Bait - A Life Without Expectations

Swamiji’s description of attention as “your own property” emphasizes its personal and controlled nature. Here’s what this means:

Attention as Your Own Property

  • Personal Control:
    • Attention is under your direct control and influence. You have the ability to direct and focus it according to your intention and will.

    2. Awareness Directed by Will:

    • Your attention is essentially your awareness, which you can direct or redirect based on your choices. This means you have the power to focus on specific objects or thoughts and to bring back your mind when it wanders.

    3. Responsibility for Focus:

    • Since attention is a personal tool, you are responsible for how it is used. Cultivating discipline and training in directing your attention effectively is key to achieving mental stability and clarity.

    4. Tool for Meditation:

    • In meditation, attention serves as the tool to stabilize vrittis and maintain concentration. By directing your attention with intention, you create a conducive environment for deeper meditation and insight.

    5. Ownership and Mastery:

    • Recognizing attention as your own property reinforces the idea that you have the ability to master it. This perspective empowers you to take charge of your mental processes and cultivate a more focused and stable mind.

    Understanding attention as your own property highlights the importance of personal agency and intentionality in meditation and mental discipline. It underscores the potential you have to shape and direct your own mental state through deliberate focus and practice.

    1st Koan to open your mind. There is more beyond this 3d realm. Don't you want to see it? Inward reflection is more than a medicine. Mindfulness is only the first step. Self awareness unlocks so much more and you already have the key
