Mine ..should vanish

Jivanmukti – Freedom While Living…

Part – 6:
When the Mind Becomes Your Servant…

The ordinary man is ruled by his mind.
The Jivanmukta rules his mind—
Not with force,
but with freedom.

The mind is like a restless monkey,
constantly leaping from thought to thought.

But in the Jivanmukta,
the monkey sits quietly—
not because it was caged,
but because it has lost its hunger.

Desires no longer pull.
Fears no longer push.
The mind becomes clear, silent, obedient.

It becomes a mirror, not a storm.
It reflects the world,
but does not distort it.

What changed?

The I that says “mine”,
that clenches, that fears—
has vanished.

In its place,
a deep stillness watches all.

The mind still thinks, yes—
but the Jivanmukta is no longer tangled in those thoughts.
Thoughts become like clouds in the sky,
not ropes around the soul.

The Yoga Vasistha says:

“When the mind is no longer your master
but your tool—
then freedom is not far.”

The Jivanmukta doesn’t kill the mind.
He purifies it.
So it becomes what it was always meant to be—
a flame that lights the path,
not burns the house.
