Guest guest Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Bhagavan once told me that thought comesin flashes, no thought was continuous.It was like the cycle of an alternatingcurrent, but was so rapid that it seemedcontinuous as does the light given off byan electric bulb.If one could only concentrate on the intervals between thoughts rather than on thoughts themselves that would be Self-realization.He always taught that mind and thought wereexactly the same,"The mind is nothing but a lot of thoughts."Upadesa Saram V.18And again that ego and mind were identical andarose together,"The ego rising all else will rise,""The ego the root of all thought".Yes, surely but,"The mind in truth is only the thought 'I'."The ego is as impermanent as thought and hasin truth no real existence at all.Do not the Buddhists say that there is no suchthing as ego?Which brings us directly to Advaita.----A Saddhu's Reminiscenses ofRamana Maharshiby Saddhu Arunachala(A.W.
