How to Live Your Life Without Thinking
Ramana Maharshi taught: When you stop thinking, the divine power takes charge of your life, and you discover that the mind and thinking are unnecessary for functioning in the world
Ramana also said: When you stop identifying with your mind, whose only function is to keep thinking, you realize that happiness is your true nature.
Nisargadatta Maharaj said: If you know you are not your mind, how will it matter whether it is busy or calm?
Now you may be asking: But how to stop thinking?
How can I live without thinking?
Without planning for tomorrow? Without recalling the past?
Without weighing every decision?
If I stop thinking, won’t I become careless, unproductive, even lost?
How do I raise children, build a career, or survive in this world without thinking?
Isn’t thinking what makes us human?
