From ~~~ Sat-Darshana Bhashya and Talks, T. 8
Sri Ramana Maharshi.:
They say that mind is two-fold ;
there is the higher pure mind as well
as the lower impure mind.
The impure mind cannot know but the pure knows.
It does not mean that the pure mind measures
the immeasurable Self, the Brahman.
It means the Self makes itself felt in the pure mind
so that even when you are in the midst of thoughts
you feel the Presence, you realise the truth
that you are one with the deeper Self
and the thought-waves are there only on the surface.
Q.:
The destruction of the mind or of the ego you speak of
is then not an absolute destruction?
M.:
Yes.
The mind gets clear of impurities
and becomes pure enough
to reflect the truth, the real Self.
This is impossible when the ego
is active and assertive.
