Visitor: Show me that Grace which puts an end to all this trouble. I have not come here to argue. I want only to learn.
M: Learn first what you are. This requires no sastras, no scholarship. This is simple experience. The state of being is now and here all along. You have lost hold of yourself and are asking others for guidance. The purpose of philosophy is to turn you inward. If you know your Self, no evil can come to you. Since you asked me I have taught you. The ego comes up only holding you (the Self). Hold yourself and the ego will vanish. Until then the sage will be saying, "There is." The ignorant will be asking, "Where?"
