The Supreme Spirit

[Guest guest]

What is the Supreme Spirit? By what relation to our experience shall

we understand it?

 

Neither by the senses nor by human reasoning can we hope to

comprehend the nture of BRAHMAN. This is so because the subject, the

object and the means are all identical. It is Brahman by which the

understanding itself functions.

 

The Supreme Spirit is that by which the mind thinks; it is not one of

the concepts that can be conceived by the mind, but it is that by

which , indeed, one is able to think through his mind. It is that

which enables the eye to see, the ear to hear, the breath to move.

These functions themselves depend on Brahman and therefore , are

these senses and the mind unable to comprehend the Brahman. Do not

take tis body that one has to feed and look after for the soul.

 

Life is not the aggregate of the functions of the body but a function

of the Higher Spirit, in as much as not a thought or abreath or a

glance is possible without the Supreme Agent.

 

He who thinks that he knows really thereby proves himself ignorant.

He who realises that he cannot know HIM has best understood him.

Those who seek to know HIM , as they can grasp things of ordinary

knowledge, can never achieve their object. Those who realise the

limitationof the human mind in respect of the knowledge of the

Supreme Spirit and, therefore, frankly confess ignorance, really

approach a true understanding of it.

 

Jai Sree Krishna!
