The delusion of rebirth will be enveloping you like a mesh so long as there is no firm enquiry about the nature of the universe and of the 'I' in man. 27. When the Atman identifies Itself with the sheaths, it appears as Jiva, in individual man. 28. Pain, sorrow and sin are the results of the feeling of duality. 29. Fear arises from identification of the Atman or Self with the body. 30. Identification of the Atman with the body is caused by the Lord's Maya or illusion. 31. Maya has no strength of its own, but is energised by God. 32. Objects are mere appearances. They have Brahman or pure conscousness for their substratum. 33. Pure consciousness or Brahman is transcendent, changeless, self- existent, self-luminous and self-contained. 34. Mind, senses and body as the instruments or knowledge are only cognised objects. They cannot therefore be the subject or the witness. So there must be a separate entity, the ATman which is the eternal witness, the eternal subject. 35. Creation is a joyous self-expression of the One. 36. Destroy Ajnana (ignorance), the seed of this Samsara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
