Mind, my mind, and me.
--
The Bermuda Triangle points out to an interesting analogy.
There is such a Classical and a practical approach as well.
This is about, how to do the "Self-Enquiry".
Though the word "enquiry" and "inquiry" may sound and give a bit different meaning to many, some may prefer the first while others may like to use the next.
Whatever,
" Self-Enquiry" consists in investigating into the truth (Reality) of "The Self" or even "the self".
In comparison to the Bermuda Triangle, the Bermuda Triangle refers to a geographical place on Earth, where ships and aeroplanes etc. seem to have lost and couldn't be easily traced.
This looks like the same, when the triangle in terms of :
Mind, me (I), and my mind,
is enquired into.
So, "Self-Enquiry" turns into a proverbial
"Wisdom of folly",
Or,
"Folly of Wisdom",
According to one's disposition (wisdom).
Saying "my mind" itself is the very cause behind this apparent contradiction (Paradox) that one falls into most often.
When one carefully and attentively looks at this, is at once released from this trap.
--
Let us see, when one says "my mind",
Could the mind really refer to itself by saying so?
Obviously, the one who says
"my mind"
is himself not the mind, which he refers to.
He is not the mind, he is pointing out to.
There is this essential contradiction in what is said and what is intended.
The pointer is not the pointed out.
Neither what is the pointed out, is the pointer.
(I admit, this is a bit clumsy!).
But here ends the paradox and this apparent contradiction is thus eliminated.
