The no mind

This state can be referred by many notions - self awareness, the Samadhi, super consciousness, etc, but in a layman way it refers to the time when you have no thoughts enter in your mind.

Thoughts too can be broadly categorized as macro and micro. Macro thoughts are easy to identify - just close your eyes and you can realize them. However, micro thoughts are at more depth and are not easy to realize. When one goes deep in meditation only then he/ she gets a glimpse of micro thoughts. They are more like feelings and don't have dominant words that could be interpreted as a language.

Once getting into that depth, the very first glimpse of no mind appears. And it is said that in that state only we get the taste of ourselves. What happens next ? What are it's advantages ? I have no idea as I haven't experienced it. But one thing that I know is if ever a question pops up into your mind that - who are you exactly ? what are you doing here ? Is studying, marrying, earning money, reproducing, fulfilling your desires/ dreams, are the only meanings of life ?, then the answer can be found in no mind
