Talk 486.

Mr. Ganapatram: How shall I find out "Who am I?"?
M.: Are there two selves for the one self to find the other?
D.: The Self must be only one consisting of two aspects of `I' and sankalpa [?] (i.e., of thinker and thought).

After a time he continued: Please say how I shall realise the `I'. Am I to make the japa [?], "Who am I?"

M.: No japa of the kind is meant.
D.: Am I to think "Who am I"?
M.: You have known that the `I-thought' springs forth. Hold the `I-
thought' and find its moola [?] (source).

D.: May I know the way?
M.: Do as you have now been told and see.
D.: I do not understand what I should do.

M.: If it is anything objective the way can be shown objectively. This is subjective.

D.: But I do not understand.
M.: What! Do you not understand that you are?
D.: Please tell me the way.
M.: Is it necessary to show the way in the interior of your own home?

This is within you.

D.: What do you advise me to do?
M.: Why should you do anything and what should you do? Only keep quiet. Why not do so? Each one must do according to his own state.

D.: Please tell me what is suitable to me. I want to hear from you. (No answer.)
