‘I am body’ belief responsible for division of experience into internal and external.
‘I am awareness’ understanding makes us see that all
experience takes place in division-free awareness.
‘Internal’ thoughts and ‘external’ sounds … both are known
in the same space of division-free awareness.
Our attention whether on an external to body object or
internal can never leave consciousness/awareness.
In awareness there is no border, no boundary.
Awareness is formless, border-free, boundary-free… always
free of the objects that are illumined/revealed in its ever-presence.
Awareness, the essential me, is fullness, empty of all
objects, free of all limits.
All experience appears in Awareness, and I am that Awareness.
I am awareness of the nature of fullness, empty of all
experiences appearing in me.
I, awareness, of the nature of fullness, empty of all
experiences appearing in me, am untouched by all experiences that are illumined
in my presence.
I am awareness, of the nature of fullness, that is ever
pure, that does not need to be purified, emptied, or expanded. Antahkarana
needs to be purified, freed of clutter of unnecessary thinking, expanded,
relatively so as to understand this.
All factors
of all experiences, arises in awareness, totally pervaded by Awareness – they
are temporary manifestations or appearances in awareness/consciousness of consciousness
itself. ( यतो वा इमानि भूतानि
जायन्ते येन जातानि जीवन्ति यत्प्रयन्त्यभिसंविशन्ति तद्विजिज्ञासस्व तद्ब्रह्मेति
(तै.उ.३-४) All beings
here are indeed, born from this infinite consciousness, having been born, they
remain in infinite consciousness, and on departing, they enter into infinite
consciousness.)
Awareness
NEVER actually changes to become any factor of experience. It only appears to
do so. Every factor of every experience, the experiencer, the experience, the
experienced object is a totally dependent reality (mithya) while the
awareness/consciousness of which they are made is satyam the independent
reality. … even as wave is a dependent reality on water the independent reality.
No factor of
any experience or the experience itself is able to divide consciousness
awareness, because the whole experience is nothing but consciousness itself …
just as all waves are nothing but water.
Awareness/consciousness
that one essentially is the Divinity, Ishvara, the background screen as it
were, in which all experiences temporarily appear and disappear, from which all
experiences borrow their seeming existence. There is nothing else here except
Ishvara.
In absoluter
reality, there is no plurality whatsoever. From the standpoint of
consciousness, there is nothing else here other than consciousness. Ekam eva
advitiyam. Plurality appears real only in ignorance of the reality of absolute
non-duality.
All
experiences are nondual consciousness alone. We in ignorance, interpret
experiences to be plural.
