Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 June 15, 1935 In the course of a later talk, the visitor said: the world sends impression and I awake! M: Can the world exist without someone to perceive it? Which is prior? The Being-consciousness or the rising-consciousness? The Being-consciousness is always there, eternal and pure. The rising-consciousness rises and disappears; it is transient. D. Doesn't the world exist for others even when I am asleep? M. Such a world also mocks at you for knowing it without knowing yourself. The world is the result of your mind. Know your mind, then see the world. You will realize that it is not different from the Self. D. Is not Maharshi aware of himself and his surroundings, as clearly as I am? M. To whom is the doubt? The doubts are not for the realized; they are only for the ignorant. .........
