The above three are something to do with thinking.Process of thinking is mind.So if we try to concentrate we are allowing the mind i.e the process of thinking to continue. In Self-Enquiry the process of thinking i.e mind itself is not allowed.Process of nonthinking is Self-Enquiry,a state of nomind. Dear Alan,
I want elaborate on aids to Self-Enquiry.

1) Ordinary thinking is due to association and mind is allowed to move anywhere it likes.

2)In Contemplation:- Thinking is allowed in one direction only.

3) In concentration:- Thought i.e mind is not allowed to move,it is focussed and fixed but thought is

still there in concentration.

The above three are something to do with thinking.Process of thinking is mind.So if we try to

concentrate we are allowing the mind i.e the process of thinking to continue.

In Self-Enquiry the process of thinking i.e mind itself is not allowed.Process of nonthinking is

Self-Enquiry,a state of nomind.
