THUS SPAKE RAMANA - 111

 

The world 'aham' is itself very suggestive. The two letters of the word

show that it comprises all. How? Because aham signifies existence itself.

Although the concept of 'I'-ness or 'I-am'-ness is by usage known as aham

vritti, it is not really a vritti like the other vrittis of the mind.

Because unlike the other vrittis which have no essential inter-relation, the

aham vritti is equally and essentially related to each and every vritti of

the mind. Without the aham vritti there can be no other vritti, but the

aham vritti can subsist by itself without depending on any other vritti of

the mind. The aham vritti is therefore fundamentally different from other

vrittis.
