Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Who knows The Self? If you say there is no one to know .... or that it itself does not -- not know it or does know it. who knows that is either knows or does not know it? To whom does it arise or not arise? How did the first realized being come to know the truth? or did that being not come to know it since he does not exist. Well then The Self being the conscious absolute who is conscious of the consciousness. not having form as-such of its (his her) own.. creates this entire delusion called consciousness in order to tell itself (herself, himself) what itself (herself, himself) IS NOT and by that come to realize what itself (herself, himself) actually is. That is why it is not possible for any existent ego or being to come to know The Self... it is always The Self who comes to know The Self as that Self is ONE-ALL_THRU.... SO if anything or anyone is either deliberately or spontaneously coming into being (remember being and existing is merely an illusion of existing and being) it is coming because what has arisen is a reflection of an aspect of infinite possibility existing in non-existence. Hence what has seemed to arise is a speck of the potency of the Self .... or as Sri Krishna says.. all this exists as and in my potency... hence the existence exists spontaneously in order that the self come to know himself as the non-limited conscious-absolute-- being.... It is no use running about saying all there is is consciousness. because that is only half the story.... the other half is limitlessness. Whereas consciousness is all that exists in existence.. consciousness cannot be known or seen to exist if there is the absence of comparison as is the case in the Conscious Absolute ... BECAUSE the NESS clause in the word consciousNESS is qualitative, indicactive and attributable only in the event of subject object reality.. The problem lies in the English phrase (the absolute consicousness) as if there is a difference between the self and his conscient nature. NO th e correct phrase to use is the Conscious Absolute as itself (herself, himself)exists PRIOR to the consciousness... we should stop running about saying all there is .... is consicousness. with respect and love bindu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
