Mind vs. Consciousness

[Guest guest]

I would like to share the following text from Leo Tolstoy in

 

his book " War and Freedom " , the text is printed on the back cover

 

of the greek translation " Pointers from Nissargandata Majaraj " .

 

It has been translated from english to greek so I had to

 

retranslate it in english.

 

Mind says:

 

1-- Space, included all material forms that make it visibe

 

is infinite and it cant be comprehend differently.

 

2--Time is infinite succesion never ending

 

and it cant be comprehend differently.

 

3--the relationship between cause and effect

 

doesnt have a beginning and it cant have an end.

 

Consciousness says:

 

1--I alone exist and every existence in only I,

 

therefore I contain space.

 

2--I measure time passing within the still moment

 

of the I'm presence, the only moment I'm conscious

 

of my existence, therefore I'm out of time.

 

3--I'm independent of casuality becouse I feel that

 

I'm the cause of every manifestation of my life.

 

*--Nissargandata Majaraj :

 

" I'm here and now, " here " indeed in the absence of space

 

and " now " in the absence of time " ...

 

in Bhagavan
