Maharshi's Gospel - 84

[Guest guest]

D. The world may not be conscious of itself, yet it exists.

 

M. Consciousness is always Self-consciousness. If you are conscious of anything,

you are essentially conscious of yourself. Unself-conscious existence is a contradiction

in terms. It is no existence at all. It is merely attributed existence, whereas true Existence,

the sat, is not an attribute, it is the Substance itself. It is the vastu. Reality is therefore

known as sat-chit, Being-Consciousness, and never merely the one to the exclusion

of other. The world neither exists by itself, nor is it conscious of its existence. How can you

say that such a world is real?

And what is the nature of the world? It is perpetual change, a continuous, interminable flux.

A dependant, unself-conscious, ever-changing world cannot be real.
