' Thinking '...

Thinking can, ordinarily, only produce more thoughts.

Even thinking about truth, about reality, however correct it be, shares this limitation.

But if properly instructed it will know its place and understand the situation, with the consequence that at the proper moment it will make no further effort, and will seek to merge into meditation.

When the merger is successfully completed, a holy silence will pervade the consciousness which remains.

Truth will then be revealed of its own accord.
