Mind and Moon

Like the Moon can never shine on its own. It's always the Sun that lights it up.

Similarly, Mind is not a separate autonomous entity running by itself.
You, as Awareness/Consciousness, is the one making the mind run always.

Somehow, there is enjoyment. Even in the belief of trying to stop the mind, there is a deep enjoyment.

We overlook that the one who is trying to stop the mind is also created by me. Both the thief and the cop are my creations. And somewhere I enjoy the creation.

So when we complain about the mind, be careful. Look and see. Is it not you who is interested in those kinds of thoughts, feelings, and emotions?

Why are you playing this game?

Are you the body, are you the mind? Or are you the consciousness that gives rise to the experience of this body-mind-world?

Look at your very own experience and see what is the truth behind your experience. The more you avoid and believe to be the latter, the more thoughts surrounding that belief will appear. And you will keep on playing this game, which you actually enjoy.
