The Non-existence of Thought.

Thought is subtle.

It cannot come into contact with a gross object.

It  cannot have any connection with it,

because they are in different planes.


This being so,

one can never think

of a gross object

and to say one can,

is wrong.


The idea that subtle objects

can take their rise in thought

will be found on careful

examination to be untrue.


There is no doubt that

a subtle object is itself

a thought-form.

One thought can never

exist in another.


A thought can therefore

never have an object,

gross or subtle.

It cannot then be called a thought.


This objectless thought

is one's real domain,

formless and changeless.

It is this, that is pointed to by the word 'I'.


There was no bondage before,

there is none now

and there will not be any hereafter,

since thought has no existence.

Knowledge always unconnected with objects.

The knowledge of a thing does not prove

The thing's existence.


Is there not the knowledge

of a serpent in a rope

and the knowledge

of objects in a dream?


The knowledge of a thing

does not show the thing's nature,

But only shows knowledge.


He is great who sees

consciousness alone

in the manifestation of all objects.


Whether the objects are present or absent,

He who has seen pure consciousness

stand in it always.


This truly is his own abode.


It is changeless,

Carefree,

Truth,

All-harmony,

Peace,

Holy and

most exalted.

Seeing and Hearing.

Unless there is seeing,

there is no form.

Form has no independent existence

and is therefor the seeing itself.


If form itself is seeing,

how can one see a form?

Therefor what is seen is not a form

but something different.


Likewise objects of the other senses

are also mere sense perceptions.


Because hearing is itself sound,

no one hears a sound.

This truth applies generally to all sense objects.


If therefor a searching enquiry

is made to know what it is,

that is really perceived,

it will be found that it is

The Absolute Reality itself.


If it is The Absolute Reality

that is perceived,

How can the illusion

of a world exist thereafter?

A Fundamental doubt about consciousness.
 

He who says that consciousness

is never experienced

without its objects

speaks from a superficial level.



If he is asked the question,

'are you a consciousness being?'

he will spontaneously give the answer

'yes'

This answer springs from a deep level.



Here, he doesn't,

even silently,

refer to anything

as the object

of that

Consciousness.



This proves that

the consciousness

he refers to

is objectless consciousness.


He who says

'I have consciousness'

or

'I am consciousness'

is separating

consciousness

from himself.



This is surprising.

What is not consciousness

comes under the category

of the known.



The 'I' is always the knower

and can never be the known.

Therefor consciousness

and the 'I' are one and the same.

My Light.

The world shines because of My Light.

Without me, nothing is.

I am the light in the perception of the world.

Objectless consciousness.

That which shines

just before and after

every thought and feeling

is the 'I'.

That is objectless consciousness.

That is the Real Self.

Pure consciousness.
I am no body

I have no body

I am no mind

I have no mind

I am no doer

I am no enjoyer

I am pure consciousness

which knows no dissolution

Not Me
Birth, growth, decay and death

pertain to the body.

Not Me.

Not I
It is mind that has

thoughts and feelings.

Not I.

The content of thought.

Even to hold that

a thing rises in thought

is mere delusion.

There is thought only

and the content

of thought is

Consciousness.

Inseparable

Thought and objects are inseparable

and therefor one.

The truth is that

one thing is kept divided

by mere words.

Change of object

An object cannot exist

even for a moment

unless cognized by thought.

When thought changes

the object changes also.

Dualism and Non-Dualism.

 

Individuals come into being

Rise and fall

Fight against each other

And die


 

Waves of the sea come into being

Rise and fall

Strike against each other

And vanish


 

Storms ravages the sea

Swishes the waves sky high

Strikes wild to deserted coasts

Seeking for rest and peace


 

A windless period changes the sea

into an endless smooth mirror

in which the sun reflects

thousand times

Thousand of little beams

are playing over the sea

There is no end


After struggle is reflection 

One is looking for the truth

In thousand different ways

To the one deep in your heart


Waves have their birth

and dead in the sea

Like individuals in reality


The sea and waves are nothing else as

water

Individuals are nothing else as

harmony


When waves should realize that

the sea is their common support

Every fight ceases


What first appeared as two is now realized as one.

Connection of objects with thought

Objects have themselves

no connection with each other.

Their connection is always

with thought alone.

The object of seeing

Form can exist

only as

the object of seeing

and never independently of it.

This rule applies alike to all sense-objects.
