Is there any relationship between the thinker and his thought, or is there only thought and not a thinker? If there are no thoughts there is no
thinker. When you have thoughts, is there a thinker? Perceiving the impermanency of thoughts, thought itself creates the thinker who gives himself
permanency; so thought creates the thinker; then the thinker establishes himself as a permanent entity apart from thoughts which are always in a state
of flux. So, thought creates the thinker and not the other way about. The thinker does not create thought, for if there are no thoughts, there is no
thinker. The thinker separates himself from his parent and tries to establish a relationship, a relationship between the so-called permanent, which is
the thinker created by thought, and the impermanent or transient, which is thought. So, both are really transient.
Pursue a thought completely to its very end. Think it out fully, feel it out and discover for yourself what happens. You will find that there is no
thinker at all. For, when thought ceases, the thinker is not. We think there are two states, as the thinker and the thought. These two states are
fictitious, unreal. There is only thought, and the bundle of thought creates the 'me', the
thinker.
