Comment to 'Wrestling The Intellect'
  • It is not a habit for me to congratulate anyone, even students, but this particular post deserves a remark. It is not so much what is said or the realizaation shared but the overall attitude of interiorization to police the psyche. This is a form of pratyahar which is advanced where the interest of being critical to everything other than the psyche ceases, and that is turned on the self, itself.

    When the self develops an interest in being beneficiallly critical of itself, that self will make progress.

    Actually, a limited being, a nothing almost, has no time to be concerned with anyone other than the very self.

    The smallest currency is a penny. Suppose as a slave you are worth less than that. How would you advertize yourself for sale? You are not worth the least currency. You cannot compare yourself to anyone because your value is just about nil. What a situation?

    That is why they made up that word. Remember?
