earnest and one-pointed enquiry

[Guest guest]

M.:

If the mind becomes introverted through enquiry

into the Source of Aham-vritti [i-thought], the

vasanas become extinct, and in the absence

of the reflecting medium the phenomenon of

reflection, the mind, also disappears being

absorbed into the Light of the one Reality,

the Heart.

 

This is the sum and substance of all that an

aspirant needs know. What is imperatively

required of him is an earnest and one-

pointed enquiry into the Source of Aham-vritti.

 

D.:

But any endeavour he may make is limited to

the mind in the waking state. How can such

enquiry conducted in only one of the three

states of the mind destroy the mind itself?

 

M.:

Enquiry into the Source of Aham-vritti is,

no doubt, initiated by the sadhaka in the waking

state of the mind. It cannot be said that in him

the mind has been destroyed.

But the process of Self-enquriy itself will reveal

that the alternation or transmutation of the three

states of the mind as well as the three states

themselves belong to the world of phenomena

which cannot affect his intense, inward enquiry.

 

Self-enquiry is really possible only through intense

introversion of the mind. What is finally realized as

a result of such enquriy into the Source of Aham-vritti

is verily the Heart as the undifferentiated Light of pure

Consciousness, onto which the reflected light of the

mind is completely absorbed.
