Dear Carlos,

 

thank you for your kind words.

Isn't it wonderful to be blessed with Maharshi's teaching for most of

your life? And isn't his teaching truly universal? You are the first

person from Bolivia, a country of magic mountains, I have encountered.

Yes, vasanas do get extinguished by enquiry. Its a longer process for

most people. Vichara truly does what psychoanalysis only professes to

do. Bring up hang ups and complexes, fears and phobias and clear them

out once and for all.

 

Warm regards

Christiane

Maharshi: If a true seeker is advised to mediate, many may goe away

satisfied with the advice. But some among them may turn around and ask,

" Who am I t meditate on an object?" Such a one must be told to find

the Self. That is the finality, that is vichara.

 

Devotee: Will Vichara alone do in the absence of meditation?

 

Maharshi: Vichara is the process and the goal also. "I am" is the goal

and the final Reality. To hold to it with effort is vichara. When

spontaneous and natural it is Realisation.

Dear Carlos,

 

thank you for your mail.

I live currently in Germany. I know your country only from Television,

but it sure looks beautiful. Don't worry about mistakes. We are all

learning.

 

Yes, only the Self is real, but vasanas have to be dealt with through

vichara just the same.

 

Om Arunachala Shiva
