Rebellion Of Mind


The mind’s death is your life, and the mind’s life is your death. So the mind protects itself. It has its
own vested interests; it has many investments. 
Of course, up to now it has been living in the world
and it has done much business, so it is an established thing. Now you are trying to rebel against it.
All meditations are a rebellion against the mind.

As no established order will allow rebellion easily, neither will the mind. It is just as if in a society
there is some trouble and somebody tries to go against the rules and the game. The police and
the judge, and the law and the courts, and imprisonment, are all there to prevent it. The status quo
becomes afraid... this cannot be allowed.
The mind is the establishment, the status quo. And once you start thinking in terms of meditation,
you are becoming rebellious. So the mind will create all sorts of trouble – it is natural .
