Quote from: Nagaraj on September 04, 2013, 06:50:47 PMKnowledge itself is action.Is the state of 'being still' a state involving effort or effortless?It is not an effortless state of indolence. All mundane activities which are ordinarily called effort are performed with the aid of a portion of the mind and with frequent breaks. But the act of communion with the Self (atma vyavahara) or remaining still inwardly is intense activity which is performed with the entire mind and without break.Dear Nagaraj,yes, trying to pay attention is action, effort but as I remember Bhagavan said that this attention becomes effortless. Am I right?
