Your mind does not need you.
You need it.
Without you, it still goes on with thoughts. That is why seeing yourself as your mind will be dangerous.
Dissociating yourself from it helps you to direct it to the right things.
So what sort of things you want your mind to do?
That is why you need a goal.
You can bring the wanderer (your mind) to go behind the goal.
The issue is when your mind is chasing the goal most of the time you become the mind.
So you need to be always other than the mind even when it is chasing the goal.
It is like you and your genie which does the work for you.
A goal invariably has a outcome
The outcome affects the mind that is pursuing the goal.
Your job is to see the mind doing the goal and not be on the outcome.
Do you see how difficult this is ?
It is easy to be your mind. And let it be your master.
It takes time to be the master and let the mind work for you.
Being the master is ultimate Freedom.
Freedom is the ultimate goal!
