what prompted the metaphor was the idea of

attaching the 'ordinary' to 'that which is'

[re bliss, in the form of sat-chit-ananda].

where 'that which is,' is omnipresent--i.e.

in the midst of everyone. the problem is

that the mind over x time somehow turned

'is-ness' into an ordinary affair. this is

why, if and when the relentless Mind-machine

gets released, the outcome is comparatively

fantastic...in fact, no metaphor can even

approach it! it could be said that it's

simply the everyday sense of self-feeling

minus the Relativity-jail of the Mind.

 

once this is accomplished, all questions

cease...all doubts dissipate. what's

left is pure vibration, without name or

form. and it's recognized to have been

in existence all along, as the ineffable

animator of life in all its expressions.

 

i would recommend reading RIBHU GITA and

ASTAVAKRA SAMHITA for definitive, concise

explanations; and THE TECHNIQUE OF MAHA YOGA

by N.R. Narayana Aiyer (available from

Arunachala Ashrama) for the quickest, most

effective way of defusing the Mind.
