' Keep thoughts upon Overself '...


If he keeps on fixing his attention upon fighting the wandering characteristic of his thoughts, he may find after many attempts that the task seems impossible.

Why is this?

It is because at the same time he is limiting himself to attention upon the ego.

Let him move in the opposite direction and turn to the Short Path, let the thoughts fix themselves on the Overself, upon Its great stillness, Its serene impersonality.

The ego will not and cannot remove itself by itself but by going outside to THAT which is its origin.

The thoughts in the end are led into surrender to the power which transcends it and will master it.


- Paul Brunton
