October 23

Whatever you think of intently for a considerable time, that you experience: or you rest in peace and experience that peace.

I am a particle of consciousness but I am one with the infinite consciousness on account of the realization of this truth, even as water is the same as water.

The pure consciousness (cidakasa) brings into being this diversity with all its names and forms, without ever abandoning its indivisibility, just as you create a world in your dream.

October 26

You and I are consciousness, the entire world is consciousness: by this realization the creation is seen as an integral part of consciousness and therefore uncreated.

October 27

The aggregate of the five senses and desire is known as the jiva, which is of the nature of pure consciousness endowed with life force. This jiva exists therefore in everything and hence he experiences everything everywhere.

When thus the world is experienced as pure consciousness, then it is not an object of perception; therefore there is no subject or observer either, there is no experience or experiencer....Though it seems to be a firm reality, it is essentially devoid of space and time. Though it seems to be diverse, yet it is non-dual--diverse and nothing at the same time.

Just as a mirror reflects whatever is put in front of it, even so, consciousness takes on the form of whatever is presented to it. However, one who has realized that everything is the pure, infinite consciousness is not affected by the apparent duality. He remains free, alone and unaffected. One who never loses the knowledge of oneness is not troubled by this goblin known as perception of difference or division.
