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.

Within the smallest atom of the infinite consciousness exists the potentiality of all experiences, just as there are stones and rocks within the mountain. All these experiences exist, constantly experiencing their own particular modes of experience. In reality, of course, they do not exist as experiences but only as infinite consciousness.

Self-knowledge does not arise except through the investigation of the means for liberation. Hence by every means one should investigate the means for liberation.

Only the knowers of the truth (the sages of self-knowledge) experience no sorrow at all: they see their bodies being borne down the stream but without the false notion "I am that body"....When you know while dreaming that it is dream only, you are freed even from fire.

For us there is no appearance, nothing unreal or real, no space: but there is only one formless, beginning-less, endless, non-dual infinite consciousness....Consciousness always shines pure. Just as during dreaming the dream has the quality of wakefulness, even so wakefulness is also the nature of dream only. When all mental activity ceases, you are that which is.

"Waking" and "dreaming" are two words used to denote the movement in consciousness which brings about awareness....There is no distinction between consciousness and awareness of objects seen either in waking or in a dream, just as there is no distinction between wind and movement....The immeasurable space appears to have a blue color; the immeasurable consciousness appears to exist as this creation.

What is real to the sage is impenetrable illusion to the ignorant. What is unreal to the sage is the most obvious truth to the ignorant.
