Guest guest Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 How can the mind which has itself created the world accept it as unreal? That is the significance of the comparison made between the world of the waking state and the dream world. Both are creations of the mind and, so long as the mind is engrossed in either, it finds itself unable to deny their reality. It cannot deny the reality of the dream world while it is dreaming and it cannot deny the reality of the waking world while it is awake. If, on the contrary, you withdraw your mind completely from the world and turn it within and abide there, that is, if you keep awake always to the Self which is the sub-stratum of all experiences, you will find the world of which you are now aware is just as unreal as the world in which you lived your dream.- Sri Ramana Maharshi http://www.pbase.com/1heart/image/83317408 LoveAlways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
