    The State of NO MIND is very important to help us focus in order to arrive at enlightenment. This is something which I have been aiming to achieve but have been putting off doing for some time now.

    In his book The Power of Now, the author Eckhart Tolle mentions about the concept of NO MIND. This he mentions is a very important state to help us focus on the present.
