Nisargadatta Maharaj
Q: There is a constant restlessness in the mind, wanting to realize something; that in itself seems to be an obstacle.
M: Are you prior to the mind or after?
Q: Prior to the mind.
M:
So don't worry about the mind. Employ your mind to the extent that is
useful for your normal daily chores, not beyond that. The knowledgeable
one just witnesses or cancels whatever experiences are obtainable
through the mind as having no substance. All this world play is in the
realm of the mind; once you understand that you are not the mind in what
way are you concerned? This is a temporary phase, imperfect,
inadequate.
