[Jitendra Hydonus]

It is amazing to me how the mind operates. All summer it has been difficult for me to find a silent place to meditate.  And finally the divine has arranged to give me a place to meditate in silence. But the mind says to me ‘you are alone, doesn’t it feel lonely?’ I then realize the minds tricks and how the mind can play tricks on us.

At that point I’m able to be grateful and sit in silence listening to my breath which has been difficult for so long, while practicing a mantra.
