Consciousness, the One and
Undifferentiated, which by the manifold application of its powers produces, the dual and non dual experiences (waking/dream/deep sleep) and, in the end, withdraws the three states into
itself, is indeed the self—luminous.
The Maker of all the three states,
self—luminous and all—pervading, consciousness ,the innermost self dwells always in the three states as their formless clay and witness. Consciousness is revealed by the negative way,
discriminative wisdom and the Knowledge of Unity based upon reflection. The one
who knows formless soul or consciousness is the true self becomes one with the immortal self.
When there is no ignorance, than there
is no day or night, neither being nor none—being; the pure Consciousness alone
exists. That immutable Reality is the meaning of "Consciousness. From it
has proceeded the non dual wisdom.
No one can grasp Consciousness as
separate entity apart from duality because it is the formless clay and the
witness of the experience of duality[waking or dream] thus it cannot be grasped as above,
across, or in the middle.
Its form is not an object of
vision; no one beholds it with the eyes. They who, through pure intellect and
the Knowledge of Unity based upon reflection, realizes formless soul or Consciousness as the true
self becomes one with the immortal.
