This afternoon a visitor from Shimoga asked Bhagavan,
"How to still the tossing mind?" Bhagavan replied, "Who asks this question? Is it the mind or you?" The visitor said, "The mind."

Bhagavan: If you see what this mind is, it will be stilled.

Visitor: How to see what the mind is?

Bhagavan: What is your idea of the mind?

Visitor: My idea is, it is thought.

Bhagavan: The mind is a bundle of thoughts. But the
source of all thoughts is the I-thought. So if you try to find out who this `I' is, the mind will disappear. The mind will exist only so long as you think of external things. But when you draw it from external things and make it think of the mind or `I' — in other words introvert it — it ceases to exist.
