something behind the mind

<Paul Brunton>

Then you do not teach the way of Yoga ?

 

<Ramana Maharshi>

The Yogi tries to drive his mind to the goal ,

as a cowherd drives a bull with a stick ,

but on this path the seeker coaxes the bull

by holding out a handful of grass!

 

<Paul Brunton>

How is that done?

 

<Ramana Maharshi>

You have to ask yourself the question , Who Am I?

This investigation will lead in the end to the discovery

of something within you which is behind the mind.

Solve that great problem, and you will solve all

other problems thereby.
