Talk 489

Another group of visitors was asking the method of Realisation. In the course of a reply Sri Bhagavan said: “Holding the mind and investigating it is advised for a beginner. But what is mind after all? It is a projection of the Self. See for whom it appears and from where it rises. The ‘I’-thought will be found to be the root-cause. Go deeper; the ‘I’-thought disappears and there is an infinitely expanded ‘I’-consciousness. That is otherwise called Hiranyagarbha. When it puts on limitations it appears as individuals.”
