consciousness became self-conscious

[Guest guest]

I am ever free now. I am all bliss, sans spite, sans fear. This

beatific conscious form of mine now knows no bounds. I belong to

all and everyone is mine. The " all " are but my own

individuations, and these together go to make up my beatific

being. There is nothing like good or bad, profit or loss, high

or low, mine or not mine for me. Nobody opposes me and I oppose

none for there is none other than myself. Bliss reclines on the

bed of bliss. The repose itself has turned into bliss.

 

There is nothing that I ought or ought not to do, but my

activity goes on everywhere, every minute. Love and anger are

divided equally among all, as are work and recreation. My

characteristics of immensity and majesty, my pure energy, and my

all, having attained to the golden core, repose in bliss as the

atom of atoms. My pure consciousness shines forth in majestic

splendor.

 

Why and how the consciousness became self-conscious is obvious

now. The experience of the world is no more of the world as

such, but is the blossoming forth of the selfsame conscious

principle, God, and what is it? It is pure, primal knowledge,

conscious form, the primordial " I " consciousness that is capable

of assuming any form it desires. It is designated as God. The

world as the divine expression is not for any profit or loss; it

is the pure, simple, natural flow of beatific consciousness.

There are no distinctions of God and devotee, nor Brahman and

Maya. He that meditated on the bliss and peace is himself the

ocean of peace and bliss. Glory to the eternal truth, Sad-Guru,

the Supreme Self.
