"The Self is like a powerful magnet hidden within us. It draws us gradually to Itself, though we imagine we are going to It of our own accord. When we are near enough, It puts an end to our other activities, makes us still, and then swallows up our own personal current, thus killing our personality. It overwhelms the intellect and floods the whole being. We think we are meditating upon It and developing towards It, whereas the truth is, that we are like iron-filings and It is the Atman (Self)-magnet that is pulling us towards Itself. Thus the process of finding Self is a form of divine magnetism."
