Meditative Insights

In meditation it is good to  just be an impartial observer of the thoughts which  occur, now and then. Sometimes one could get dragged into the thoughts, so the status  changes from impartial observer to one involved in the thoughts. Then one comes back to being an impartial silent observer again. And soon one will be able to recognise that observer is also a role played by the ahankara. One may then contemplate on the fact that both the observer and observed are sustained in one self-evident, indivisible consciousness who is the truth of both the observer and the observed. Keep seeing this fact again and again. 

One may also contemplate that consciousness the truth of the observer-I cannot even be said to be all-pervading because consciousness is free of space. All pervading the word can be used only when there is a concept of space. So then what becomes appropriate for recognising space-less consciousness is the understanding of non dual, ekam eva advitiyam. The Consciousness that one is, is ekam eva advitiyam.
