Thanks for taking time in curating these pointers and penning down the commentary, Jagjot 🙏. Really appreciate it. I had the page open for a long time to go through 5 points explained simply in few paragraphs. Mind finds it to be gnarly to go through all of that in one go and that was an interesting observation. I doubt if I would have encountered the same degree of difficulty had it been about a topic that peeks mind's interest :-).
Yes, I understand what you are saying. The mind doesn't struggle that much with things that perpetuate the sense of separate existence. Perhaps, that's why self-help and motivational content is so popular. But here the mind is dealing with the question of it's own existence, and hence, the analysis (the effort to understand) becomes a diversion. However, once we've read the pointers, the information has already percolated within. Now the witnessing awareness itself will deepen the understanding (which Ramesh referred to as the "deliverance") through the flow of life. And that's the beauty of it. We don't have to do a thing other than simply "be."
