Wandering mind

The mind wanders along the same path many times every day in the conscious plane. Usually happens when we see something while walking on the road or seeing something at home.
It's so easy to predict what the thoughts would be in advance itself. I sometimes laugh at my own thoughts seeing how instinctive they are at times.
All these thoughts tell a story. It's the story of my ego not me. This ego is the result of countless lives of entering flesh animal or human in this world from time unknown. Can't criticize it can't accept it, can't allow it, can't repress it, it only seeks pleasure and averts from pain.
What to do under such circumstance? Only watch. That's what the great gurus say.
- Watching our action is karma yoga
- Watching our emotions is bhakti
- watching the effect of our thoughts and emotions on our body is hatha yoga.
- remaining the watcher of all these is remaining in the soul, is remaining in the now
Aum namah Sivaya
