THE SECRET LOCUS OF THE SELF.
Devotee. - Then whom do you address when you say :
'know thyself' ?
Maharshi. - To whatever you are; to you is given the
suggestion, 'know thyself'. The ego-self, when it feels
the necessity to know its own origin or impelled to rise
above itself, takes the suggestion and goes deeper and
there discovers the true source and reality of itself. So
the ego-self beginning to know itself ends in perceiving
its Self.

Sri Ramana has explained it in this way :
वृत्तयस्त्वहं वृत्तिमाश्रिता:।
वृत्तयो मनो विद्ध्यहं मनो ॥
(-उपदेश सारः)
All the vrittis (various modes of the mind /
thought-forms) emanate from the 'Aham-
Vritti',( ego, 'I'-sense). So after tracing-back
this 'Aham-Vritti', which is essentially
present in all the other vrittis, and there-by
dissolving them into this root-vritti, and after
that tracing/seeking the source of this 'Aham
-Vritti', it dissolves on it's own into the very
'Source', i.e. The 'Self'.
And ’you’ know your 'Self' ,
by ’knowing thyself’.
सारी वृत्तियों का मूल/ उद्गम ’अहं-वृत्ति’ है.
जब यह अहं-वृत्ति भी अपने मूल/ उद्गम्
(चित्) में विलीन हो जाती है, तो यह उस
उद्गम् से एकीभूत हो जाती है .
