‘We are and we are not’as also ‘we are not and we are’
own creations of ephemeral nature albeit their serving a limited purpose of facilitating organization and our dealings in society to the realms of truly Universal Consciousness.
I would like to end this paper calling to attention what has been said in, ‘Light on Meditation’ (BP V4 P27&33) for understanding the problem of perpetuation of the idea of separateness and the real purpose of the individuated or Particular Consciousness.
Our problem is “The habit of thinking which interferes with our sadhana converting Master as some object of realization to be achieved and implied in that is He or rather His state is something we do not have. It means that the mind by this habit of seeking that object, is affirming sense of separateness. In the experience of Void there is no feeling of separateness, which dissolves along with collapse of time and space.
The real experience of silence in which the mind and its habits of thinking have dissolved is not relative to ideas or definitions about it.In this silence which abides, thoughts arise and pass unobtrusively including the awareness of the ‘I’- consciousness arising from within the Being”.
“Repeated exposures to this significant and simple awareness of Being should make us understand that there is only an Universal consciousness and particular consciousness of self is only an opportunity provided by the Divine to express universal good by the particular”.
