It is the mind that deceives itself. At least you must admit that you exist. Either you accept the Supreme or at least enquire into the true nature of your self. Who are you? Knowing or not knowing belongs to the mind and therefore all your so called 'knowledge' is really ignorance. You identify yourself with the mind and that is the cause of the confusion. Enquire more deeply into the true nature of your individuality (who is it that possesses a mind?). In fact, if you perceive that the mind does not exist at all, then it will vanish along with the confusion, and what truly is will stand revealed. When you look at your reflection in the water and believe it to be an accurate representation of yourself, then you are troubled when the movement of the water disturbs the reflection. But when you realize that this has no reality to it, then your worries cease. You cannot get rid of your shadow, but you need not believe that it is who you really are. ~ Ramana Maharshi Nice. Now do you understand what I mean by destruction of mind? You should do if you thought that quote was "nice".

Understand this, realize this, and you will know what I mean. I know what you mean. It's all the annihilating/obliterating that I couldn't help making fun of.

Ramana himself speaks of destruction of mind which is called manonasa. Do you want the advanced teachings or not? 😀
