~~Rejection of Thoughts.~~
-------(वृत्ति-निरसन) ------
Devotee.- But you have often said that one must reject
other thoughts when he begins the quest, but the thoughts
are endless; if one thought is rejected, another comes and
there seems to be no end at all.
Maharshi.- I do not say that you must go on rejecting
thoughts. If you cling to yourself, say the I-thought, and
when your interest keeps you to that single idea, other
thoughts get rejected, automatically they vanish.
Devotee.- And so rejection of thoughts is not necessary ?
Maharshi.- No. It may be necessary for a time or for some
time. You fancy that there is no end if one goes on rejecting
every thought when it rises. No. There is end. If you are
vigilant, and make a stern effort to reject every thought when
it rises, you will soon find that you are going deeper and
deeper into your own self, where there is no need for your
effort to reject the thoughts.
Devotee.- Then it is possible to be without effort, without
strain !
Maharshi.- Not only that, it is impossible for you to make
an effort beyond a certain extent.
Devotee.- I want to be further enlightened. Should I try tomake no effort at all ?
Maharshi.- Here it is impossible for you to be without effort.
When you go deeper, it is impossible for you to make any effort.
