The Mind

[Guest guest]

It's strange that, around the end of WWI, currents of

thought in East and West were opposite, without

recognition of each other. Ramana's devotees, almost

unknown in the West, were attempting to empty the

mind. Whilst, say, that writer of snippets to fill odd

spaces in newspapers, Logan Pearsall Smith, poked fun

at his own failure to keep his mind in good repair:-

 

EDIFICATION

'I must really improve my mind,' I tell myself, and

once more begin to patch and repair that crazy

structure. So I toil and toil on at the vain task of

edification, though the wind tears off the tiles, the

floors give way,the ceilings fall, strange birds build

untidy nests in the rafters, and owls hoot and laugh

in the tumbling chimneys.
