Guest guest Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 God illumines the mind and shines within it. One cannot know God by means of the mind. One can but turn the mind inwards and merge it in God. The body composed of insentient matter cannot say 'I' (i.e., cannot be the cause of the 'I-thought'). On the other hand, the Eternal Consciousness cannot have such a thing as birth. Between the two something arises within the dimensions of the body. This is the knot of matter and Consciousness (chitjada-granthi), variously called bondage, jiva, subtle body, ego, samsara (attachment), mind, etc. (Gems from Bhagavan, selected by A. Devaraja Mudaliar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
