    The journey to know the “I” is called inward journey. Whether you are studying galaxies or blackholes or quantum particles, never forget that your purpose is to know the “I”, not what the “I” is seeing.Watch “I” changing its location. When you are eating delicious meal “I” is body. When you are reading book, “I” is mind. Who is watching mind? Another partition of mind. When you keep watching “I”, you will realize that “I” is “nothingness” and it just gets attached things like body or mind.

    Your mind is like a bell hanging outside a temple. It reacts to everything and gives sounds like “That is wrong” “That is right” “I like it” “I disagree.”Let it ring. Let it react. Leave it where it is and go inside the temple. Detach from the mind to enter your inner temple.

    The knowledge that the world has given you is nothing but a set of robotic commands. It has turned you into robot: What is it? Milk. What to do with it? Bring it from the shop, boil it and drink.What is it? Tree. What to do with it? Just ignore it. It is there to keep your oxygen levels normal.And so on. It has made you into robot. It has given you an illusion of freewill and choice.
