BODHAYANTI PARASPARAM VOL 5
narrow way of thinking. We just can't believe it. Nor can we possibly imagine that enlightenment is the real nature of our minds.
When one past thought has ceased and a future thought has not yet arisen, in that gap, in between, there is a consciousness of the present moment; fresh, virgin, unaltered by even a hair's breadth of concept, a luminous, naked awareness. That is what we Imperience. Yet it does not stay in that state forever, because another thought suddenly arises. This is the nature of mind. However if we do not recognize this thought for what it really is, the very instant it arises, then it will turn into just another ordinary thought, as before. This is the cause of delusion and is the root of all bondage. If we are able to recognize the true nature of the thought as soon as it arises, and leave it alone without any follow up, then whatever thoughts that arise all automatically dissolve back into the vast expanse of Void and we feel we are liberated. This is the exact reason why Master asks us to ignore the thoughts during meditation.
