us, we have to get through it, subtly listening to the silent voice of God (i.e. devoid of life expressions). Baleskar’s comparing a man to a “robot” is incomplete, as robots do not have consciousness, whilst men have. In the Vicharasangrahah (Maharshi 1994, 2–3), Ramana Maharshi when asked: “How to enquire ‘Who am I’,” recommended the following: “making the corpse-body [note: devoid of life expressions] remain as a corpse, and not even uttering the word ‘I’, one should enquire keenly thus: What is it that rises as ‘I’?” In this case, even though the body is regarded as “dead”, i.e. a robot-like, the conscious choice of the sādhaka is to do this enquiry with mind kept unmoving, and when pure Consciousness is experienced, it causes the “ego” to “get destroyed” [note: which means, it will loose its dominance and will only serve as needed by life situations]. It means that if the karma of the sādhaka allows it, he/she can recognize the body as a “robot” and the Source of life as shining Consciousness. Further, the prayer may be called meditation, if it does not formulate any personal wish except, e.g., that of being able to merge with the absolute Consciousness. So the areas that are difficult to cross are the individual wishes that we would direct to God for getting them fulfilled, whilst the wish to be able to realize the Absolute through staying in the Present, and thus out of reach of ego, mind, and time, seems to have a higher probability to happen. The individual karma, however would do as much as possible to prevent this from happening. References Clark, Josh. 2015. How Quantum Suicide Works.
