Where do thoughts arise?

It seems simple enough. But it is not. Why can’t we do it ?

The thought that to destroy thought itself is a thought and after that there is a thought we destroyed a thought is a thought. Or there is a thought that we did not destroy a thought

So one must go to the origin of thought. Where is the original thought start? I usually don’t share many secrets. But this is a big secret. Thought started in the karana deha or causal body.

So this method of inquiry leading to samadhi was successful for Ramana Maharshi but will not be successful for others simply because Ramana Maharshi starting point was he was able to leave his gross body and go to subtle body when he was in 8th grade. At that point, it was relatively easy to go to karana body and go into samadhi

That does not mean that what he says is not helpful. It is immensely helpful. But will be more powerful when you can go to the subtle body or karana body.

For almost everyone, karana body is something imaginary. It is not like the subtle body. Subtle body looks like physical body but very fluid and can change appearance instantly

Anyway there things are meant for those who have made substantial progress. Most of the world has not even started
