The mind is not the enemy

The mind is not the enemy.
The mind is a tool, a gadget that we have allowed to take over and run us into the automatic drive of efficiency and doing.
Allow the mind the do its job of making connections, of getting things done and achieve goals.
Don't let the mind the take control of us and close our eyes to the beauty of non- doing, to the pleasure of being.
But also don't fight the mind, the avoidance creates resistance and duality.

The mind is a part of our being, the door to perception, the window through which we observe this physical world.
To close it or label it our enemy would be just as limiting as letting it run the whole show.
Accept each part of us as equally important and precious.
Make the mind our best friend and learn how to take care of it and even indulge it sometimes, but never let it forget that the soul is the captain and the heart is our guiding light.
