It is difficult to control your mind because you don't understand your mind. However, when you give more time and attention to your mind during Meditation, you begin to understand the quality of your mind. The mental patterns that you have created for yourself out of your own thoughts and emotions become clearer.
What is needed is not your effort to control your uncontrollable mind, but your effort to befriend your mind. Try to give quality time to your mind. By quality time, I mean time to just observe the thoughts of your mind.
It is because you are trying to control the mind that you become frustrated when your mind slips out of your grip. The more you condemn yourself for your inability to control your mind, the more you fall into the negative channels.
Just rise up to this understanding: you don't have to control your mind but only observe it. This observation creates the miracle that you are longing to see. The mind calms down the moment you start to just observe it.
This observer element is very powerful, for it is engineered by the power of Consciousness. The Light of Consciousness does the miracle of calming the mind, not your controlling ego.
Once you feel this all pervasive calming for a second, it will give you a quantum leap into the world of Consciousness. You experience the Witness within you. You find that the mind is becoming calmer and calmer and Blessing you with the benediction of life.
