NO MIND ......

 



There is a notion.

That getting to know one’s true self is a matter to pursue in the evening of one’s life.  Not when one is in the prime of youth, to earn a livelihood, look after family.  Not an urgency, nor a priority.

 

How naïve that notion seems to be?

 

Bhagavan elsewhere asks what use is it of to know all else except one’s own true self.   How do we know the true self?

 

Is there a method?

 

Bhagavan says the only way how you can is through His potent question:

 

“WHO AM I?”

 

Enquiring into one’s own self – Atma vicharaa.

 

Rumi queries,

"And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?”

 

Right the emphasis is on getting to know one’s true self.

 

The vichara way when it sets you into chidswarupa- transcendental state, you are not lazing around.  Your real dynamo sparks even more brightly, and your work whatever it is shines, excels and would be more aesthetic.
