Thought created memory and memory created thoughts?

The mind is empty like time or space and only thoughts and memory are creating fury and funeral in the mind.  If people know to manage the........

Is there anything called ‘mind’?  Why most of us talk a lot about the mind very often? Where does mind exist if we were to believe its very existence?  Why the ‘mind’ is full of vagarious & worries and fury & funeral?

Mind is nothing but an empty space.  Mind is like time or space.  It never holds anything nor does it free anything.  It cannot store or stock anything.  Can any one say that the time is holding them?  If someone says that they have to board the plane at 10.00 AM means, are they holding on to the time of 10.00 AM to board the flight or the time is holding them?

But definitely, all events like they have to get ready, reach the airport, board the flight etc., are happening only in the space of time.  Nothing on earth can happen outside the space of time. But still the fact is that time is very ‘empty’, it comes empty and goes away empty.  That is how the mind is.  Everything happens in the ‘mind’ but still mind is ‘empty’. 

Thought and memory are only cuddling and churning in the mind.  Thoughts create its waves.  Memory stores and restores some thoughts forever.   We need to relate the mind, thought and memory discussion to ocean, sea water and waves.  The memories are like winds that make the waves of constant thoughts to occur or vice versa.  The space where the entire process happens is only mind.  All the sense organs effectively participate and contribute to formation of ‘thoughts and ‘memories’.

In the same ocean only, the beauty and vibrancy of diverse fauna and flora exist.  In the same ocean only tempest and tsunami also occur.  It is all but the game of thoughts and memory only.  Can we say an empty land mass as sea.  Sea must have water.  The water definitely moves up and down due to wind.  We cannot see windless space, so is mind devoid of memory or mind without thoughts. 

When one travels deep inside the sea, only memory remains there but with fewer thoughts.  When the interference or influence of thought is less, the memory does no harm and remains calm & silent. 

The thoughts created by memory always refer to the past and usually it manifests as pain, regrets, feeling of loss etc.  On the contrary, memory created by thoughts is always stored for future.    

The sense organs do contribute to the formation of memory and thoughts.  The best way to keep the mind in tranquility and peace is to go deep inside the mind where the memory is calm and is free from thoughts.  Only such memory is called awareness.  This is what most seers preach and practice to the world.   

Do not blame your mind as it is an empty space where only thoughts and memories create your joy and sorrow of course with the complete support of all the sense organs.
