SELF- WITNESS TO ALL

We pervade the universe we live in and it is in reality woven around us. We are actually pure consciousness. We should not give way to petty mindedness.

Just like the mud that is used to make a pot, pervades the entire pot similarly pure consciousness from which the entire universe is projected, pervades the universe itself.

Though the universe is pervaded by the self the self is unattached to it. In the consciousness the subject and the object form the warp and the woof of the universe woven as a magnificent tapestry.

By identifying with this universe of names and forms we give way to petty mindedness. To live and feel like the limited ego is unbecoming to our divine nature.

There is nothing greater than our essential spiritual being.

We are unconditioned, changeless, dense, with profound intelligence, serene and unperturbed. Hence we should desire consciousness alone.

We do not lack in any thing. As a contrast to the burning passions that constantly agitate the egocentric life, the self  in its supreme perfection and peace is ever serene.

When the intellect is devoid of all thought disturbances the self or pure consciousness is experienced directly.

As our desires, so are our thoughts. If we desire consciousness alone our thoughts become pure, serene and untainted.

That which has a form is false and that which has no form is changeless.

We should have a clear idea of what we are seeking. The meditator in us should realize that the ghost is unreal and the post is real. The waking is real and the dream is unreal. In other words all that is experienced on the material platform is unreal and the eternal truth alone is real.

Just as the mirror exists inside and outside the image that it reflects, the supreme self exists inside and outside this body.

Though when one meditates, he does so by going within himself or herself, but when one realizes one’s true identity he or she awakes to realize the boundless state of the infinite self.

The eternal self, infinite and unconditioned is ever present everywhere both within and without.

The very thought of inside and outside arises from the meditator’s body consciousness.

When the material body is not perceived the concept of inside and outside, are no longer valid.   

If you look at an empty pot, you realize that there is space inside the pot as well as outside the pot. But when the pot is broken the only thing that remains is space.

Similarly the seeker as long as he is within his conditionings, meditates on his self as the pure subject within himself, but once he realizes his true nature, he experiences the all pervading infinite nature.

In other words the individual, the universe and the creator are all different manifestations of the same infinite consciousness.
