----------------------------

This line of enquiry started when I noticed,

that from the moment one wakes up,

until one falls asleep,

one is very busy doing something or other.

 

What is it that compels us to do these things?

Because of what does this go on?

 

Then I came to the conclusion,

that it is my beingness,

the fact that I am conscious of existing,

which is working throughout the day.

 

That is how my enquiry started.

 

 

 

In the body,

the indwelling principle is the consciousness.

 

Abiding in the consciousness,

it became all manifestation.

 

Now transcendence of the consciousness,

has also occurred.

 

 

 

With the apearance of consciousness,

the Absolute knows it is, I Am.

 

This is the experience.

 

There are other experiences now,

in this time factor,

but experiences are gradually dropping off,

including this primary experience, I Am.

 

It is only the consciousness,

that is going to disappear.

 

The Abslute is always there.

 

--------This consciousness,

gradually loses everything.

 

--------Ultimately, consciousness is no

longer conscious of itself.

 

--------That state can not be described.

It is called Parabrahma, the Supreme

Absolute. But that is only a name for

communications purposes.
