Ceaseless enquiry
The new has its own challenge. Ramana counsels that one should ceaselessly, without tiring, investigate, enquire into and find out what is this thing called the 'mind"? On such enquiry, it will be obvious when there are no thoughts, there is no mind. Do you not go to sleep soundly, each day? What happens then to the mind? Does it keep ticking away in its pestering course? No. It is totally free from thoughts. Where has the mind disappeared? When the mind is free from thoughts, is it not silent? Can we not infer and rightly at that, mind is only thoughts? When there are no thoughts, one"s mind as we regard it at present, is not existent.
The
birth
of
thoughts
and
birth
of
the
mind
It
must
take
sometime
to
digest
these
words,
which
are
totally
unknown
phrases
in
our
vocabulary.
deeply,
one
would
discover
that
rising
and
subsidence
of
thought
is
a
daily
occurrence,
though
it
has
gone
wholly
unnoticed
by
the
individual
for
whom
it
relates.
To
prevent
any
conceptualisation,
Ramana
himself
gives
the
required
insight
about
the
nature
of
the
mind,
by
defining
the
mind
for
us.
What
is
it?
It
has
a
center
and
periphery.
The
centre
of
the
world
of
thoughts
is
the
first
person
thrown
on
'I".
Ramana
points
out
that
even
if
the
nominative
case
is
not
used,
no
sentence
can
be
formed
without
it.
Without
the
'I",
there
is
no
'You" or
'They".
The power of the mind is called attention, which irrigates the whole thought world. Among the hordes of embedded thoughts in the mind, only such thoughts to which attention of the thinker is bestored can arise. So, Ramana defines the mind as the 'I" for any thought can be existed only till, and to the extent to which this attention falls on it. In short, the thinker 'I" alone is the mind. The further understanding of the source of the mind itself is the next logical question, which remains for an in-depth study.
