In the great mirror of consciousness

In the great mirror of consciousness images arise and

disappear, and only memory is material--destructible,

perishable, transient. On such flimsy foundations we

build a sense of personal existence--vague, intermittent,

dreamlike. This vague persuasion: " I am so and so "

obscures the changeless state of pure awareness and

makes us believe that we are born to suffer and to die.
