You are the quality of your present action. You are, right now, attention itself, if you are indeed listening to me. Unfortunately, this identity won't last. Soon you will be distracted. You'll become somebody else. The discipline lies in holding on to the highest identity possible, that which you know to be the highest, given your limited capacity. That's who you should be. That's the answer to — ‘Who am I?’

Questioner: Hello sir, my question is that I'm fully aware of the thoughts that I'm having most of the time. So I feel like ever since, for a year and a half, I’ve been going through something. It's a low phase. I can acknowledge the suffering and I know how to come out of it. But then I feel like I keep getting stuck in the same thought cycle again and again. I find an answer and then I'm back at it. Something small happens and then I'm back at the same cycle.
The intensity reduces over time. So I feel like if I look back a year and a half ago, maybe it was this big, and now it's just this, and I'm almost out. But then the thing is that it still keeps coming back. It's the same thought process, it's the same conclusion, and then it repeats. So how do you break it? Ki matlab solution to aa raha hai dimaag me ki ye iska solution hai, but wo karne ke baad fir wo problem aa rahi hai to matlab solution galat hua?
Acharya Prashant: You don't need a solution for the existing mental pattern. If you think in terms of what to do with what's going on in the mind, then you are only providing it with more energy, more respect, more consideration, that just continues the cycle.
