Agni And The Fire Of Self-Inquiry
"Seekers with a more intellectual background tend to approach the Self in a conceptual or philosophical way, as if it were some category of cosmic existence to be appreciated by the rational mind. This too generally misses the living reality of the Self which has the power to consume the mind and cannot be approached by any mere logic or dialectic.
To question deeply about who we really are is to create a friction at the core of the mind that naturally gives rise to an inner fire.
The Self Knowledge inquiry ‘Who Am I?’ (atma vidya) is the ultimate stirring of the mind that brings forth an inner flame that can consume all other questions and doubts, like a fire burning dry grass.
It takes us back to the core fire at the core of the mind, which is the inextinguishable light of the supreme I AM. That universal Self of pure light and consciousness shining deep within us is the real goal of our search."
