Does The Mind Exist

You look at yourself. You see the body, feel it, smell it, touch it. You know it is there. you can work with it. May be you can change it, modify it. You look at your mind. You can not touch or smell it. Yet you feel it. No, you do not feel it. May be you sense it . You think you feel it. You think you can work with it, change it, modify it. It is almost like working with vapor or air. You can not grasp it, you can not hold it. Yet you can not deny it. At times you sense it getting muddy, getting smoky. Mostly you feel it carrying this and that,like the smoke, like the tiny drops of mist, like the dust particles. It makes a screen, the stronger the screen the more opaque it becomes. The more it conceals, the more it covers. You think you see, yet nothing is seen. The eyes feel tired. The strain in them weighs them down. A drop or two tries to wash it away. You feel tired to open them. it hurts. And then you open them. It is there. As clear as crystal as luminous as a piece of diamond. You see it and you do not see the mind. Does it exist ?
