Do you really need to know the source of thought? || On Raman Maharishi (2018)

“'I' is the root of all thoughts because, in the end, very thought occurs to the ‘I’. So, first try to get hold of who this ‘I’ is, which will lead the enquirer to dissolve and merge in the source.” ~ Sri Raman Maharishi

Questioner: Acharya Ji, Pranaam! I want to know the source of thought.

Whenever I enquire, I cannot dig deep. There is no intensity in the digging. How to get that intensity in the enquiry? Also, please explain these lines by Sri Raman Maharishi.

Acharya Prashant: What enquiry do you want to do? Why do you want to know the source of thought?

Why is an enquiry needed at all?

Don’t you directly see where your thoughts are coming from? Don’t you know ‘desire’? Don’t you know ‘jealousy’? Don’t you know ‘competition’?

Where else are your thoughts coming from?
