I'm a girl. My thoughts are not pointed, they are reflective. I may evoke the point and reflect it maybe groove on it, but that's different from focusing on a point.
I desire nothing because I enjoy it all!

Namaskar,
Well,
If one is not carried away by thoughts and remains merely as a reflecting medium, one is already there. Must be a result of a lot of prior tapas.
Some explanation:
Q. On inquiry into the origin of thoughts, there is a perception of 'I'. But it does not satisfy one.
A. Quite right. The perception of 'I' is associated with a form, maybe the body. There should be nothing associated with the pure Self. The Self is the un-associated, pure Reality in whose light, the body, the ego etc. shine. On stilling all thoughts, only pure consciousness remains. When just awaking from sleep and before becoming aware of the world, there is that pure 'I' - 'I'. Hold to it without sleeping or without allowing thoughts to possess you. If that is held firm nothing matters even though one sees the world - the seer remains unaffected by the phenomena.
If there were no such activities as waking thoughts and dream thoughts, there would not be the corresponding worlds, i.e. no perception of them. In deep sleep there are no such activities, and the world does not then exist for us.
In dreamless sleep there is no world, no ego and no unhappiness. But the Self remains. In the wakeful state there are all these; yet there is the Self. One has only to remove the transitory happenings in order to realize the ever-present beatitude of the Self. Your nature is bliss. Find that on which all the rest are superimposed and you then remain as the pure Self.
Om Namoh Bhagavate Shri Ramanaya
But are you not carried away? If not, then you have nothing more to attain.
Regards
Om Namah Shivayya

That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
