The mind is not evil; it is just stupid. You cannot put somebody to the sword just for stupidity. And how will you kill the mind? Does the mind stand independent of you? Does it?
The mind is your shadow. If you change, the mind will change. And that is what I am advising you: prove that you have changed. If you have changed, you will be able to convince the mind, just as the shadow changes when the man changes, just as the world changes when man changes.
Don’t dismiss the desires of the mind. Look at those desires. Go deeply into those desires. Behind each desire you will find only one desire: the desire to be free.
