Somebody asked Eckhart Tolle, a spiritual teacher, "What is your greatest achievement?" Tolle answered, "I don't have to think anymore when I don't want to think. This is my greatest achievement."

It may sound odd to us because for us achievements are being rich, famous, powerful, etc. But despite all this, if our mind is not in control, we live in misery, fear, insecurity. Life becomes a living hell.

We should use our mind as we do the legs. We walk only when needed. Likewise, we should use the mind when needed. Meditation alone can give this power over the mind.
