Give up the idea of being the body & face the question Who am I? At once a process will be set in motion which will…take the mind to reality
For reality to be, the ideas of 'me' and 'mine' must go. They will go if you let them.
All you have to do is to understand that you love the self and the self loves you and that the sense 'I am' is the link between you both.
I appear to depend on everything, but in fact all depends on me.
For anything to happen, the entire universe must coincide.
You must begin by being the dispassionate observer. Then only will you realize your full being as the universal lover and actor.
Having seen that you are a bundle of memories held together by attachment, step out and look from the outside.
Ultimately you will come to see that you are neither the particular nor the universal, you are beyond both.
As the tiny point of a pencil can draw innumerable pictures, so does the dimensionless point of awareness draw the contents of the…universe.
Find that point and be free.
You have a mind which is spread in time. One after another all things happen to you and the memory remains. There is nothing wrong in it. The problem arises only when the memory of past pains and pleasures—which are essential to all organic life—remains as a reflex, dominating behavior. This reflex takes the shape of 'I' and uses the body and the mind for its purposes, which are invariably in search for pleasure or flight from pain.
When you recognize the 'I' as it is, a bundle of desires and fears, and the sense of 'mine', as embracing all things and people needed for the purpose of avoiding pain and securing pleasure, you will see that the 'I' and the 'mine' are false ideas, having no foundation in reality. Created by the mind, they rule their creator as long as it takes them to be true; when questioned, they dissolve.
