Sri Lakshmana Swamy
The quest 'Who am I?' is to seek the source of the mind, to find out where in the body the I-thought arises. Whenever an advanced devotee becomes aware of the I-thought within him, he will find that it subsides and finally disappears in the Heart-center on the right side of the chest. When the I-thought subsides into the Heart and finally dies, this is realization.
Making the I-thought subside into the Heart is very difficult. It can only be done by advanced devotees or by those who have practiced meditation for a long time. For beginners it is usually better to meditate on the name and form of their God or Guru. When they have succeeded in steadying their mind by this method, they will find self-enquiry much easier.
