Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 D. On the other hand , it is like asking the spectator to act in the cinema picture . So we must learn sleep-waking ! Maharshi : Actions and states are according to one's point of view. A crow , an elephant , a snake , each makes use of one limb for two alternate purposes. With one eye a crow looks on either side ; for the elephant the trunk serves the purpose of both a hand and a nose; and the serpent sees as well as hears with its eyes. Whether you say the crow has an eye or eyes , or refer to the trunk of the elephant as "hand" or "nose" , or call the eyes of the serpent its ears , it means all the same. Similarly , in the case of the jnani , sleep-waking or waking-sleep or dream-sleep or dreaming-wakefulness , are all much the same thing.
