 ask me that question'. But he insisted upon the answer. Yama replied "Well, you will come to a stage where you are so much one with That that your distinction from it is very little. When you come out of It, a distinction comes out". That I is the Existence. The I or identity is that from which thought arises. Individual thought arises from the I. Now, it is a very difficult question to explain unless you go through that experience. Master says there is an element of man running parallel to the Divine. And the man who realized the Tam is one with the Tam. He almost identifies with the Tam. The human element or identity remains to the 'minimum extent' and it will remain till the very last, viz., Maha Pralaya. The realisation is that. If you want to have realisation here with the body, then you must have a minimum of identity and a maximum of the Divine. That is what we are seeing in the Master. In other words, it is precisely zero added before I and the number added after the decimal point which makes your identity less, nearing absolute Zero. This can be experienced in the lives of people. I can only represent this point by referring the Master himself. This condition can be said to be pure thought, with that slight point. And all his actions come from that Tam, through the infinitesimal. It becomes the passage through which the individualization takes place. In other words, Master says individuality is brought to the minimum. What is lost is individual and not Divine.
Master feels there is a great mystery, a mystery which is, beyond all spirituality also and if you want to experience, just try by adding a little bit of what you call Truth or existence. Then you will see whether He exists or not. The person who reaches Tam is more real than you. A man who thinks he exists, perhaps does not exist really. That is a condition indistinguishable from nonexistence. Existence and nonexistence are transcended in this condition. In other words, all our normal ways of describing this condition do not go far, and we are left to experiment on this aspect.
Do not have a fear that your identity is going to be completely lost, if you have any love for identity. Some people will say and in fact the great distress of Buddha was as everybody tells, that he was a nihilist. He said the human individual is a bundle of Samskaras and so everybody said he was a Sunya Vadin and that is how they follow him. What he means was that Ultimate cannot be described in the language of real experience and it is
