Pitfalls in Self-Enquiry

First we imagine that we are the body

because of Self-ignorance.Then we

imagine that ego exists and we have

to drive it to the spiritual which is

supposed to be on the right side of

chest but it is not in our

experience.Then we feel we are

stuck and we ask for the help of

another to push our ego into the

spiritual heart so that we get rid

of the ego.All this is imagination

and inner chattering of the mind.

First this inner chattering should

stop before we find

greater,better,higher than the

mind.When such inner chattering

stops you will find suddenly at

home.You are thinking that your

"Self" is distant from you and

you are trying to reach it.The

goal of Self scrutiny is not to reach the Self but to stop the inner chattering which is interfering continuously of the spontaneous revelation of the Self.
This chattering is converting the Self consciousness as object knowing limited consciousness.
No action will unravel the mystery of Self and all action in the form of mental chattering leads us away
from the Self.Where action ceases
like in Self-scrutiny,existence i.e
Self reveals itself.
