Q. What are the hindrances to the realization of Reality?
A. Memory, chiefly, habits of thought and accumulated tendencies.
Q. How to get rid of these hindrances?
A. Find out the Self through meditation in this manner. Trace every thought back to its origin which is the mind; never allow thought to go on, if it does, it will be unending; take it back to its source which is mind, and they (thoughts and mind) will die of inaction, for the mind only exists by thought, take away thought and there is no mind.
As each doubt and depression arises ask yourself, “Who is it that doubts? Who is it that is depressed?” Tear everything away until there is nothing but the source left. Live only in the present.
