Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 There is no location to one aware. This one is not a numerical one, and so there is not more of it here and less of it there. There are no beings outside of it, into which it can enter. The one aware is not realized by a human being, or by any beings. All beings are its realizations, so to speak, its constructing of form. Thus, " it " is not an it -- but talking and thoughts inevitably have to involve forms and qualities. There is for this one aware, no outside nor inside, nor any separably existing beings which can realize or not realize what and how this is. This is as is - undivided, indivisible. -- Dan (nothing new below) Nisargadatta , " leeladhar " <leedhar@r...> wrote: > CHAPTER - XII > YOGA FOR All > There are millions of creatures in the universe.
