This is a beautiful meditative method where the seeker tries
to understand that there is indeed no inner equipment called the Anthah Karana
comprising the mind, memory, intellect and ego. The nature of the mind is
two-fold – Sankalpa or positive thinking and Vikalpa – negative thinking. When
we resolve to do a good action, it is Sankalpa and when some crazy and
improbable imagination is raging, it is Vikalpa. When you realise there is no
mind, Vikalpa also is gone; One becomes free of all imaginations. The four
great imaginations are, “This is myself.” – of the Ahamkara. The next is, “I
did this and I enjoy or suffer for it.” – This imagination is by the intellect.
The third imagination is, “This is myself and everything else is different from
me. I like this and I don’t like this.” The fourth imagination is the memories
of the past and the anxieties of the future.
The Antahkarana, the inner
thought equipment is a divine creative preservative and destructive force. When it serves
the individual body, it becomes a binding factor. It is not a question of
wishing away the ego, intellect, mind and memory, but making a thorough
analysis to discover that it is actually not there. – SS
