your intellect is not identified with anything.
You are here to experience life, not to avoid life.
Only if life is happening exuberantly within, can it carry you to higher possibilities.
If your life has become a love affair, then life is blissfulness, and the mind too is blissfulness.
I want you to know, a campaign can be run to make you believe just about anything. If we campaign hard enough, we can make you worship anything, hate anything, love anything, and give up your life for anything. We just have to work on your identifications.
Once this little space between you and the activity of the mind and body arises, the mind is no longer a mess.
What you call moments of bliss, moments of joy, moments of ecstasy, moments of utter peace, these were moments when you were not thinking about anything but were just living.
If you look at life experientially, there is every reason to live. If you look at life logically, there is no reason to live.
Excessive eating, alcohol, excessive indulgence in physical pleasures, these are ways to go below the mind. People use them and for a few moments they can forget the torture. You hit the bottle and sleep.
For a few hours, your mind does not bother you anymore because you have gone below the mind.
