The mind, not the world, is the cause of all suffering and of all joy. Learning how the mind works, learning how to master your thinking is the key to self-knowledge and self-knowledge leads to self-mastery. Self-mastery means the mind is no longer controlled by fear.
But the true goal of learning how to think is learning how not to think. Silence, stillness are the greatest teachers. Knowing how to quiet the mind is the key to true freedom and peace. To know inner stillness releases the self from the need to know anything else. The greatest thinkers are also the greatest non-thinkers.
