He could easily refrain from all this but what is to be gained by such restraint? Let all these be as they are. Such is the attitude of one who is established in the infinite consciousness....The distinction between bondage and liberation lies in the state of one's consciousness, which is conditioned in bondage and unconditioned in liberation.....The enlightened consciousness is unaffected by the rising and setting of likes and dislikes, mental action and supramental consciousness. When one is firmly established in the infinite and unconditioned consciousness, even these distinctions vanish. The diversity which people experience in this creation is but an appearance, like the colors of a rainbow....There is no difference or division in consciousness, just as there is no distinction between space and emptiness. The currents and whirlpools that appear on the surface of water are only water.
