Kaha sikhapna det ho,
samujhi dekh man mahi
Sabai haraf hai dwat mah,
dwat na harfan mahi.

How much I teach you, you understand your mind, All the letters are in the ink pot but the ink pot is not in the letters.

Kabir says that we are identified with the letters created by ink. Ink is not letter means Ink is consciousness, witnessing, within us. Formless within us. Which is not letter.

There is a way to be sane. You can get rid of all this insanity created by the past in you. Just by being a simple witness of your thought processes.

It is simply sitting silently, witnessing the thoughts, passing before you. Just witnessing, not interfering not even judging, because the moment you judge you have lost the pure witness. The moment you say “this is good, this is bad,” you have already jumped onto the thought process.

It takes a little time to create a gap between the witness and the mind. Once the gap is there, you are in for a great surprise, that you are not the mind, that you are the witness, a watcher.

And this process of watching is the very alchemy of real religion. Because as you become more and more deeply rooted in witnessing, thoughts start disappearing. You are, but the mind is utterly empty.

That’s the moment of enlightenment. That is the moment that you become for the first time an unconditioned, sane, really free human being.
