Episode notes
Reject Thoughts Immediately
- Reject every thought as soon as it arises by inquiring "To whom does this thought arise?".
- This strengthens the mind and leads you deeper into your true self, where effort to reject thoughts ceases.
Self-Shines; Thoughts Cease
- The true self shines on its own and then thoughts cease naturally without effort.
- With practice, the "I" thought used for focus will disappear, leaving egoless presence.
Trace Thoughts to Source
- When thoughts arise, do not follow them; ask "To whom do they arise?" to trace back to the self.
- Persistently practice this inquiry to develop the skill to remain rooted in the self's source.
