Once the vichara is undertaken, it teaches itself. So, what I want to do is get you doing the vichara, that's all. All I want is that everybody I speak to begins doing the inquiry according to their own understanding and ability. I don't want you to get enlightened. Enlightenment is not on the table here. It is a fool's game. It gets us hooked up. Whatever you have done in your search, it has brought you here to the question, "Who am I?"
