[Advaita-l] A Pointer

[sreenivasa murthy]

Dear friends,
Here is a pointer:
"The Upaniṣadsrepeatedly instruct that the mind, intellect, 

     is the locus where the Self is to be realized and 

     the instrument to realize the Ātman is also the mind alone 

     and that such a mind ought to be rendered 

     extremely pure and subtle to accomplish this task."  

Purity of mind means unburdened by all kindsof concepts i.e. a clean slate; in other words to examine the teachingwithout the background of the previously accumulated knowledge. 

With respectful namaskars,Sreenivasa Murthy
