Question : When I do this and cling to my self, that is, the I'-thought, other thoughts come and go, but I say to myselfWho am I ?’ and there is no answer forthcoming. To be in this condition is the practice. Is it so?
Ramana Maharshi : This is a mistake that people often make. What happens when you make a serious quest for the Self is that the I'-thought disappears and something else from the depths takes hold of you and that is not theI’ which commenced the quest.
