Mind is there, in front of you. Don't log in.
The nature of illusion is that, when you see through it, it disappears.
Let the mind come as it wants; just you don't go with it. The greatest salesman in the world cannot sell you if you don't buy.
There is no need to believe or disbelieve your thoughts - just don't enter anything. They don't distract you - you get distracted. Nothing exists in itself as a distraction - it is you who get distracted. Why?
Self-Enquiry is not asking you to believe or to trust - it is putting a mirror in front of you and asking you to look. Enquiry is suited to many people in the West, because we are more mental. And it is very direct. So unsparing is its look that nothing can escape.
You are the knower of knowledge; you perceive perceiving. Come to this place, and see if any questions remain there within you.
Let every thought come and hug you, but you don't hug anything. Then, gradually, the noise will start to back off.
The simplest aspect of self-enquiry is to just hold onto the sense I AM, the sense of Being. Keep the sense of "I" or "I AM" by itself. Everyone can do this exercise - it brings immediate results.
You want to be free as the ego, but you need to be free FROM the ego. To be free from it is to understand its unreality.

Everything is happening spontaneously, and the witnessing of it is also happening spontaneously. Everything is already happening in natural balance.
Something is aware of even the energy of confusion inside of you. There is no need to get unconfused. Leave it - it will pass.
All you need to do is recognize your true position as the witness. You only have to do this for some time, until the spell is broken. Even after the spell is broken these mental tendencies may arise, but without any power, just like you can see the moon in the daylight.
