Look at the light exists as consciousness
Ever beautiful light is our consciousness
Ever blissful consciousness our existence
Consciousness is there inside and out side
I am that pure consciousness and thou art that
All souls are full of pure consciousness
Without either names or forms, just like
Water drops of one ocean of consciousness
It is impossible to deny this self or Atman,
For it is the very essence of he who denies
The Atman is within, without, before, behind.
It is on the right hand and it is on the left hand
It is above and below all this is consciousness
Brahman alone is real and this world is unreal
Self is identical to Brahman, the supreme self
Just as a snake is superimposed on the rope,
This world and the body are superimposed
On the Brahman or the Supreme self,
If you get knowledge of the rope in light
The illusion of the snake will vanish.
Even so if you get the knowledge of Brahman,
The illusion of body and the world will vanish
Know that pure consciousness is Brahman!
I am that pure consciousness
Thou art that pure consciousness
And the soul is pure consciousness!

And since all things are but of one, a drop in the ocean. Then all things are of some relation. Thru some relation we can pin point the angle of view. But only at times is the view properly understood. One self must prepare and pratice to understand this world is unreal, and that the demons and gods are but the reflection we made. Pure consciousness in the intermediate state (the bardo.) How do you wake up from the matrix?
Follow the white rabbit, and down the hole he went. "Neo you found us. in your search to know the truth..."
Real is what people think is real.
NICE WRITE. caught me rambling.thanks it got me thinking. |

Even so if you get the knowledge of Brahman,
The illusion of body and the world will vanish.
What wonderful words the illusions of the body will vanish. I say amen to this simple but beautiful phrase. You have a mighty pen and your works are wonderful to read. I thank you for this philosiphical work

Hmmm. I wish I could live in your state of consciousness. It must be nice! Very nice write Venkat, as usual. This write gave me a sense that something is out there that is better than what is in here. : 0 ) And is it my imagination, or is this one in the shape of a man with a hat and tie? Do you do this on purpose? ; 0 )
