20. Since there is no conception (bhāvanā) of 'I' (aham) in the mind (citta), indeed, this 'I' itself does not exist. Thus, through the contemplation (bhāvanā) of the Vedic meaning 'this is Brahman' (brahma), and from the direct experience (anubhūti) that the cognized object is the sole reality (cetitārthaikasatyatva), where then can thought (cintā) truly be found?
