All is the universal mind ultimately

[Guest guest]

There is no object external to the self. What you

call the object is self itself. Let us take the example

of a dream in which a tiger chases a man. He runs in

fear and finally climbs up a tree. The tree, the tiger,

the chase, etc., are all a projection of his own mind and

his dream-personality also is a process of his mind.

So the one mind becomes everyone of these in the dream.

It is subjective as well as objective. This is what is

happening in the waking condition also; and, even as the

one single mind became all objects in the dream, the

universal mind has become all these external objects

around here even in waking life. They are nothing but

the universal mind ultimately.
