Catch your mind; if you can

        The mind of the past is ungraspable;
        the mind of the future is ungraspable;
        the mind of the present is ungraspable.
                                 -    Diamond Sutra

Don't take anyone's word. Just try it yourself. See whether you can actually get a hang of your thought streams. When you come across your consciousness, see whether it's static. See whether it give you some absolute bliss. I'm not talking about some relative crap. I'm talking about something that is absolute and can be known only through personal experiences. Then ask yourself whether this thought or whatever say something about your identity. Are those thoughts your identity or can you be much more than just that? Ask yourself these questions.

The mind of all times maybe ungraspable, but just having a bit of knowledge isn't gonna do anything great for you. You have to go beyond. To do that, you have to realize the nature of your mind by yourself. When you come to the understanding that your mind is ungraspable, you can transcend it. You can stay unaffected by your own mind. Mind controls everything in your life. When you are not controlled by your mind, you are absolutely free from all control. No omnipotence can screw you ever again.
