The mind is the instrument to observe our internal states. The power of attention, when properly guided and directed towards the internal world, will analyze the mind and illumine facts for us. The powers of the mind are like rays of light dissipated; when they are concentrated, they illumine.This is our only means of knowledge.
From Swamiji's book "Raja Yoga," Chapter One, "Introductory." Complete Works, 1.129.
