Episode 8 : What is meant by being thoughtless or thoughtless awareness?

It basically leads to taming of the mind. In the Bhagvad Geeta, Chapter 6, a great deal has been talked about regarding the mind. What is the mind? A repository of incessant thoughts. Arjuna: The mind is very restless, turbulent, strong and obstinate, O Krishna. It appears to me that it is more difficult to control than the wind. Lord Krishna said: O mighty-armed son of Kunti, what you say is correct; the mind is indeed very difficult to restrain. But by practice and detachment, it can be controlled. Yog is difficult to attain for one whose mind is unbridled. However, those who have learnt to control the mind, and who strive earnestly by the proper means, can attain perfection in Yog. This is my opinion. So basically, when the Kundalini rises, reaches and pierces the Sahasrara (Fontannel Bone Area or limbic area on top of head) the Sahaja Yoga practitioner can feel the downpour of divine bliss in the form of cool breeze. Thus, when one experiences the acknowledgement of the divine, he strives to experience/ feel it more and more. Automatically his incessant thoughts of worldly nature stops and he becomes thoughtless to enjoy the bliss of divinity. When one becomes thoughtless, one makes room for the divine to directly work on his instrument!
