## Who am I? The deep space is full of light, but it appears dark, completely black, Why? Because there is no object to reflect the light. You can experience this by putting your hand in front of a light source, when the light falls on hand, you can see it as a light form, but as soon as you remove the hand, you don’t see the light, yet the entire room is illumined through that same source of light, but because it was reflected on your hands, you were able to see that. Similarly consciousness, not as an object but as awareness itself, illumines the mind(s), of our all. It shines through it an everything reveals itself, including this mind and the sense of self. We all are nothing but just that one awareness in which we all shine through, its the ignorance through the construct of mind which makes us feel that we are individual selves. The ignorance is so grand Abhishek, that it has been forgotten entirely that “wait a minute, I am not this body and mind. I am that to which this body and mind appear”. --- ## We don’t “really” own anything Often caught up with our thoughts that hey I need to do this, need to get that, need to achieve this, buy this gadget, that car, that home. If you truly see for all these years, we have really not owned and stayed with anything. I don’t have the stuff 4 years back which I used to feel made me who I am, like that green lamp which I used to own in college, I don’t even remember where did I leave that. We have moved out of the cities where we grew up, there is nothing which has stayed, and so is this body, this will go away in a few years, but does that mean I’ll be gone? Well it depends Abhishek which I is being talked about here, this mind, this body, this ego, yeah this will be gone, but that through which this entire experience of I was illumined, will that be gone? Haha, funny that Abhishek you are even typing this right now. ## Impermanence This entire life we experience, it won't last. Nothing lasts, not even this moment, it appears to be a lasting thing (this life) because of the concept of memory and space time, which btw Abhishek you know very well exists and appears in pure awareness itself. A good example to point towards it is that even a patient suffering from immense pain, when they go to sleep, deep sleep, there entire pain and suffering is gone, it is only when the mind starts to function is when they realise that they are in pain when in the waking state. Another example to showcase non attachment, a mother of a new born child, for her the greatest and the strongest attachment is the baby, consciously subconsciously she’d always think about the child, but the moment she goes into deep sleep, the child is not there, no attachments. It’s all a construct of mind. --- ## Method to purify mind is by replacing the desires of this body mind with something of a higher sense of attachment like God, be so lost and prioritise realising God so much, that all other desires are burnt down in front of it, and you have experienced this Abhishek, its very true. --- ## Loving Everyone You can’t really love everyone if you see themselves as different or others. But if you see themselves as God, you just need to love God :) This is as beautiful as language could get :’) Love is equal, not attached. --- ## Perception If you identify yourself as the body mind, it will never be satisfied, never be fulfilled. It’s a fact. But if you see you are consciousness (pure awareness) experiencing this body and mind, you are limitless.
