[Advaita-l] Re mental efforts

[Ramanathan P]

Awareness is in body-mind.
Happening of realization is where: unknown.
Functioning is by body-mind.

Body-mind organism writes that "I" have no way to interfere with "it".
 
Yes, on to the next post on duality and words.

Is it the body-mind organism that has written the above?



YES

The objective of Self-'realization' is for the body-mind (jiva); this is understood.

Happened to whom/what/where?

I HAVE NO WAY TO TELL YOU THAT. THAT WHAT I AM I DON'T KNOW.

Is the awareness of this 'fact' in the body-mind?


YES
