Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 A young man asked : Are thoughts mere matter ? Maharshi. What do you mean ? Do you mean " matter " like the things you see around you ? Devotee. Yes - gross. M. Who asks this question ? Who is the thinker ? D. The thinker is spirit. M. Do you then mean that spirit generates matter ? D. I want to know . M. How do you distinguish between matter and spirit ? D. Spirit is consciousness and the other not. M. Can consciousness generate non-consciousness, or light generate darkness ? (from Talks, InnerDirections Publishing, page 472) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
