Allow feelings, experiences and thoughts to come to you | Advaita | Non-duality | Spirituality

Allow your feelings, experiences and thoughts to come to you, but do not believe them, do not take them seriously.

Allowing negativity (tamasic energies) will help you to become positive (rajasic energies) and finally becoming peaceful (sattvic).

The simple way to Liberation or Moksha is to (1) allow the mind be still and (2) not take yourself to be the body-mind.

Sometimes, in fact very often, thoughts needs to express themselves, and in expressing themselves you can learn about yourself on the human level/level of the mind. A bit of worry can be quite good, as it helps us prepare for future events.
