is from

****************************************************************

A SEARCH IN SECRET INDIA ,

by PAUL BRUNTON

(revised edition 1985,Samuel Weiser,Inc.)

******************************************************************

 

- Master , I have studied our Western philosophies and sciences ,

lived and work among the people of our crowded cities,

tasted their pleasures and allowed myself to be caught up

into their ambitions.

Yet I have also gone into solitary places and wandered there

amid the loneliness of deep thought.

I have questioned the sages of the West;

Now I have turned my face towards the East.

I seek more light.

- You say I. "I want to know." Tell me, who is that I?

 

- I am afraid I do not understand your question.

 

- Is it not clear. Think again!

 

.................................................................................\

...................

I point a finger towards myself and mention my name.

 

- And do you know him ?

 

- All my life !

 

- But that is only your body. Again I ask , "Who are you?"

.................................................................................\

.....................

Know first that "I" and then you shall know the truth.
