Everybody has got a world of their own within the waking/dream. The
monkey or the dog has got its own world. A deaf man, a blind man, a madman, a
savage, a genius, a mystic, a child, a seeker, a thief, a billionaire and a
peasant—all have their own respective worlds within the waking/dream. Everyone
lives in each others waking or dream. The waking is parallel dream. And the dream is
a parallel waking experience.
One, who is immersed in ignorance of the true self, will not be able to
realize the ultimate truth. Only through self-knowledge the ignorance vanishes.
The real
self' is the eternal soul, which is in the form of consciousness. The real
self' is destitute of change, whereas the mind' [waking/dream] is constantly
changing. The mind '/waking/dream is a mirage. How can then the mind ' be the
ever pure consciousness?
As soon as one realizes that self is not the form but self is formless then he
becomes free from experiencing the illusory birth, life, death and the universe
as reality. The true self is free from the bondage of Karma, from the fetters of desires, from the
mirage of this mundane life and its concomitant evils and miseries.
One sees the clouds. The clouds move continuously
but their moment is within the waking/dream. If one takes a photograph, he sees
the Clouds in the picture, but there is no motion of clouds in the picture.
Motion is a mental creation within the waking/dream.
Motion means
duality. Motion is mind. The object appears to move only. Motion is
an illusion. Behind the objects that move there is the absolutely motionless consciousness
which witnesses the motion. Consciousness is still, it is all-pervading, and
Infinite. Consciousness is everywhere, because it is all-pervading and
infinite.
