Question: Sometimes when I fall asleep, it's not because my mind is tired, but because it is roaming all over the place. What can you do when your mind starts roaming?

Sri Chinmoy: Think of the mind as a load of rubbish. Feel that everything in your mind is dirty and filthy. Just collect it, look for a garbage bag and then fill it and throw it away.

From:Sri Chinmoy,The silent mind, Agni Press, 1977
