Do you trust your mind or your spirit?
Deepak Chopra says:
“I don’t trust my mind, but I do trust my spirit which is beyond my mind. My mind is full of contradictions, and paradoxes, and definitions, and labels, and judgments, and good, and evil, I don’t trust my mind at all, but I do trust my spirit which is beyond all of us.”

Conclusion: Mind is a vast ocean just made up of waves of thought, one thought leading to the next, and it is never-ending. Thoughts become ego-forming attachments that reside in the mind, obscuring the spirit within. Silencing our mind allows us to become aware of our spiritual self that resides deep within our soul, which is the real God within each one of us. Being one with this inner spiritual self is being one with God. Trusting the spirit within you is tantamount to trusting God.
