M : Soul, mind, ego are mere words. These are not real entities.

Consciousness is the only truth. Its nature is Bliss. Bliss alone

is - enjoyer and enjoyment both merge in it. Pleasure consists in

turning and keeping the mind within; pain in sending it outward.

There is only pleasure. Absence of pleasure is called pain. One's

nature is pleasure - bliss.

 

Note : Consciousness, Self, Being are one and the same reality. As

we have already seen, the Self is blissful : we, in our nature, are

bliss, but when we extrovert and take the body for ourselves, giving

it a special name, we become other than ourselves, - the body and its

name ; - then we are not bliss. We take upon ourselves the suffering

which the body of Mr. So and so is heir to. In other words we

imagine ourselves the not-Self and likewise imagine in ourselves the

suffering and pain of the not-self . extroversion is the cause of

this false imagination. Instead of looking inwardly at the pure and

blissful seer of the world, we look outwardly at the misery and

disease laden world and at the perishable body of the seer, which we

mistake for the seer himself.
