Guest guest Posted June 7, 2002 Report Share Posted June 7, 2002 Can the body, which is insentient as a piece of wood, shine and function as 'I'? No. Therefore, lay aside this insentient body as though it were truly a corpse. Do not even murmur 'I', but enquire keenly within what it is that now shines within the heart as 'I'. Underlying the unceasing flow of varied thoughts, there arises the continuous, unbroken awareness, silent and spontaneous, as 'I-I' in the Heart. If one catches hold of it and remains still, it will completely annihilate the sense of 'I' in the body, and will itself disappear as a fire of burning camphor. Sages and scriptures proclaim this to be Liberation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ in Self-Enquiry (in Words of Grace) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
