Now, mind is movement, right? Why does the mind move at all? The mind wants to reach somewhere. Where does the mind want to reach? Is that place within the mind? The mind wants to reach somewhere. Every thought, every action, every motivation, every emotion rides on a desire, is directed, is targeted towards something. What does the mind want? Surely not something that is within the mind; surely not something that can be within the mind.
So, the very presence of the mind and its activities is an indication that something beyond the mind certainly exists. Else why would the mind have so ceaselessly kept wandering and moving and searching and asking and desiring? And every single creature in the world is asking, moving, desiring. When you look closely at that desire, you come to see that the mind is in search of something beyond itself, that the very existence of the mind is proof of the existence of something beyond the mind. Had the mind been self-contained, had the mind been self-sufficient, then we would have led very satisfied lives. But are we leading satisfied lives? We’re not leading satisfied lives. And that itself shows that the mind is gripped by a strong and very certain feeling of incompleteness, insufficiency. The mind is absolutely certain that it lacks something. That something that the mind lacks, that something that the mind is so compulsorily drawn towards is called the Ultimate, is called the Truth, is called the ending, it is called the pinnacle. It is also called as Krishna. Getting it?
