Reality to the mind is empty and dark - Nisargadatta

[Guest guest]

Of the unknowable only silence talks. The mind can talk only of what it

knows. If you diligently investigate the knowable, it dissolves and only

the unknowable remains. But with the first flicker of imagination and

interest the unknowable is obscured and the known comes to the fore-front.

The known, the changing, is what you live with; the unchangeable is of no

use to you. It is only when you are satiated with the changeable and long

for the unchangeable that you are ready for the turning round and stepping

into what can be described, when seen from the level of the mind, as

emptiness and darkness. For the mind craves for content and variety, while

reality is, to the mind, contentless and invariable. (436)
