(after returning from Arunachala). I have some questions:1. I understand from

some of the mails here that it should not become routine, or a drudgery. Does

that mean i should _not _ allocate certain hours for doing it at the exclusion

of other activities? I understand that atma-vicara (AV) should be going on all

the time, but should we

allocate some hours for doing _just_ AV. I have started doing it between 4:30am

and 6:30am when it is quiet. And again at night.2. that brings me to the next

question. Is it preferable to do AV in a quiet place ? Which again means we may

have to schedule it, if we live in a noisy distracting area. I am also planning

to go off to a queit place in the country where i can put in a few weeks of AV

undisturbed. Does this (intensive periods of AV) sound like a good idea. 3.

Does one actually say the words "To whom did this thought come ?" in the mind,

or is it an unspoken question?After asking this question, what do we do ... sit

absolutely queitly, or try looking around for that "I". I find my eyes rolling

around under the lids looking for something visible, even tho i know the "I"

wont be some visible entity. In Ramana,Ananda
