Manonash is real samadhi [bliss] for the mind. Mind is uprooted and then its death occurs and the ego immediately feels: "I am everything, and have no concern with the body." At that moment, either the shock is too strong and the body falls, or the momentum keeps the body for some time, and then it falls, as in the case of the majzoobs.
Real Ego is the Goal. Some who reach the Manonash stage and have to perform certain duties continue to remain in their body with an impressionless mind to help others in seeing themselves in everyone.
Call it "Impressionless Mind," call it "Real I," call it "Transformed Ego," or call it "Real Mind" — it is One and the same Infinite Truth, beginningless and endless. You are All in all. All that you need is emancipation from all that is false which has fallen to your lot.
I now think thus. I am absolutely full of weaknesses in my New Life. And, in spite of my present helplessness, I have got to achieve the annihilation of the mind. To achieve this extremely difficult task of Manonash, I have four months in hand. It is like a lame person wanting to reach the top of Mount Everest in four months. But I feel 100 percent confident that God will help me to achieve this.
On October 16, when you fast, ask God from the bottom of your hearts to help me in achieving the annihilation of the mind, as I want it to be achieved. I feel 100 percent confident that God will help me in this.

At the time of starting his dictation, Baba had forbidden anyone to ask questions; but on Ramjoo's interjecting a question, Baba replied, "Had you any sense, you would never have asked me!"
Still, answering Ramjoo, Baba commented,:
