Agni: The Fire of Self-Inquiry

 

by David Frawley

....................

 

Other seekers with a more intellectual background tend to approac the Self

in a conceptual way , as if it were some category of cosmic existence

to be appreciated by the rational mind. This too misses the living reality

of the Self which has the power to consume the mind and cannot be

approached by any mere logic or dialectic.

 

To question deepluy about who we really are is to create a friction at the core

of the mind that naturally gives rise to an inner fire. The inquiry 'Who Am I?"

is the ultimate stirring of the mind that brings forth an inner flame that can

consume all other questions and doubts , like a fire burning dry grass.

It takes us back to the core fire at the core of the mind , which is the

inextinguishable light of the supreme I AM. That universal Self of pure light

and consciousness shining deep within us is the real goal of our search.
