I And Mine

The relation entailed in the expression 'I and my mind' throws up many ideas.

• Can the 'I' or one's self (ego) be explained without taking the mind into consideration?
• Is it not true that the mind itself deeply involved with its own inventions is creating and explaining the 'I'.
• Is the intellect not a section of the mind? Is extrasensory knowledge real?

There are plenty of such discussions and for thousands upon thousands of years they have been repeated in the same language. The knowledge of an average man occurs outside the limits of indirect experience. Therefore, the questions mentioned above have never been properly answered.

 

The solution to these questions lies in steadying the mind.
This very state is called self-realization.
