So firstly we have to tell ourselves: “Now, don’t think, don’t think, don’t think, don’t think!” Four times. And then you can rise above it. And this is very important. In meditation, you have to go beyond the mind. I think people should stop reading also, perhaps, maybe. Even my lecture becomes mental, what to do? I mean, everything that goes into their head becomes mental, somehow, and then they ask Me questions: “Mother, did You say this way?” I said: “I said it to make you thoughtless, just to stun you. I didn’t say this to sit down and analyze and do… no, no. I said this, that you become absolutely shocked and stunned.”
So, the best thing for all of you is to become thoughtless. And I am sure if you work it out, that don’t pay attention to others. Don’t react, just don’t react. Everything they will see, they will react. What is the need? What is the use? What are you going to do with that reaction? This reaction creates nothing but ripples of thoughts in your mind. I have told you hundreds of times and now you have to become absolutely thoughtless. If that happens, I think we have achieved a lot.
