How does a an enlightened being Sage function in the world with “no mind ?” . We have seen Sages like Sri Ramana and Shankara teaching and guiding people. If Sage has no mind how can they function ?
Mind of common man generates 70,000+ thoughts. “I” thought is the root thought for all. Sage has stopped identifying SELF with “I” thought which is an object. Due to this, thinking part of the mind has become silent. The working mind which is required for functioning of body, memory continue to work.
Hence we can say the “no mind” condition of a Sage means “no thinking mind” but continued functioning of thew “working mind” which helps in functioning of body in the world. Sage can act spontaneously without a sense of doeship due to functioning of “working mind” even though the “thinking mind” is silent.
