"Know the true self". Knowing the true self means by inquiring, analysing and reasoning in to the nature of the mind, one has to grasp and assimilate the fact that, the self is not physical but it is the spirit. It is not possible to know the self by reading books or scriptures or hearing the sermons of great speakers or by glorifying the god men.
If the self is not physical, then it is erroneous to view and judge the truth on the physical standpoint. Therefore, whatever seen, known, believed and experienced as a person of the world is physical standpoint. The truth lies beyond physicality. Deeper inquiry analysis and reasoning revels the fact that the self is not physical but the spirit. Therefore, it is necessary to learn to view and judge the physical existence, on the standpoint of the spirit/soul, which is the true self, to unfold the mystery of the mind/’I’.
Intense urge, sinerirty, seriousness silence, receptivity and humility are often the best ways to self-knowledge. Not because they offer solutions for the complexity of our lives but because they bring us in touch with our sacred centre, where truth dwells. That sacred centre may not be analysed. It is the source from where the mind rises and subsides. The source is formless; therefore the mind is mere mirage on the standpoint of the source, which is the spirit or soul.
The source itself is the true self. The true Self is neither bound nor free. An end to illusion! It is all groundless. For the whole of creation, though it rests in the Self, is without foundation.
