मा सङ्कल्पविकल्पाभ्यां चित्तं क्षोभय चिन्मय । Your mind (chitta) is consciousness. It is alive. It is pure consciousness. You need to know that it has always been bothered and troubled by opposing thoughts. Thoughts pull you in one direction or another. Crime is not natural to any being; to any life. You know why? One cannot commit a crime towards oneself. It is impossible. Joy is our nature. Bliss is our nature, because you can 'be' in bliss, radiate bliss and bring joy to others, too. So there is no conflict of sankalpa and vikalpa. उपशाम्य सुखं तिष्ठ । Just observe this and relax. The moment the head drops down to the heart, sankalpas and vikalpas disappear; conflicting thoughts disappear. All conflicts simply go away. When you become aware of the conflicting thoughts in you, just smile at them and relax. There is no other way. You cannot fight them, because, if you do, they will multiply. Smile at them, they are just sankalpas and vikalpas - just thoughts. What do they mean in this entire existence? Nothing!
Just remember that thoughts are coming in and going out of this small brain of yours. See it in the context of the whole sky. What is the small head with steam coming out it compared to this huge existence - the sky, the mountains and the stars? If only thoughts had colour, it would be wonderful! I've thought about this before. Breath and thoughts should have some colour. When I was small, I used to think about thoughts coming out in blue, red and yellow; heads with fumes coming out all the time. That was a fantasy. It would be nice to see hundred people sitting with a hundred rainbow colours coming out of each head! Then I wondered why this had not happened in the creation. It would have added more fun to existence! It should have been that way. I used to wonder about this all the time. In the context of space, what is this small head over this small body, generating thoughts all the time? You cannot see them, otherwise you would have seen that they are chaotically flowing out; flowing, in all directions. You are amazed. The mind gets blown! You feel that you are tired. That you are sick of something. Why not be sick of the mind-this little thing? When you say, "I am sick of this", you want to get rid of it.
