>From Consciousness and the Absolute..editor Jean Dunn

 

 

January 9, 1981

 

 

 

Q: What are thoughts?

 

 

 

M: They are the result of previous conditioning, which the mind has had.

 

 

 

Q: Are the thoughts the thought of the Jnani and the ignorant one

different for one another?

 

 

 

M: The difference is that the jnani has divorced himself from the

body-mind, the body mind thoughts will come and go but the jnani is not

 

concerned; whereas, the ignorant one gets involved in those thoughts and

the ignorant one considers himself as a name and a form.

 

 

 

Q: Should I keep in mind constantly that I am consciousness only?

 

 

 

M: You are consciousness and consciousness is you and that's it, it is

not necessary to always keep your attention on that fact. When you know that

his is your finger, is it necessary to constantly repeat that it is you finger?

What is there to be done?

 

 

 

Q: When an action must be done or a choice made, how should one make the

choice?

 

 

 

M: Just understand that it is not your personal action or choice. Do not

get involved as the doer.

 

Why do you get involved in all these concepts? First find out what you

consider yourself to be. Are you an entity? Get that problem solved instead of

getting involved in all kinds of concepts. What are you? You cannot understand

with you intellect, it is beyond the grasp of the intellect.
