Awareness Vs Mind

Awareness Vs Mind

Awareness is the reality, and the only reality.

It not only just is; it is the ISNESS itself.

Mind can only imagine it, but cannot take you there, because mind = thoughts, and thoughts are imaginations.

How can imagination take you to reality?

The imagination of a city is an imagination, not the city.

– Yog Vasistha.

How can a wave explain what the ocean is?

As long as a wave is a wave, it cannot even understand the ocean, let alone explain it.

When it is not a wave, it is already an ocean.

Awareness is the purity; everything else is impurity, tainted by thoughts.

Awareness is the tip of a mountain; everything else is a valley.

Stop efforts, let the mind go, let your faith in the mind wither out, and out will surface the ocean of ISNESS.

Don’t expect any special rewards from awareness, as you do from Sansar.

Realizing the divinity of your true self is the reward of awareness by itself; nothing more and also nothing less.

If you care for it, it is the greatest reward anyone can have in life; if you don’t, it’s a waste of time for you, return to Sansar.

Mind is only a play; only a recreation, a waste of time, until self-realization happens.

Awareness is realizing the essence of life.

After that, the mind becomes a channel for the expression of divinity.

Every thought generates a duality – what you are thinking of and what you are not thinking of.

Every like and every dislike is the same.

Duality is an endless, complex web that leads to endless suffering.

When you realize the simplicity of the thoughtless shunya state and start drinking the nectar of silence, those are the only moments you have truly lived on earth; the rest, only running around in the abyss of the sansaric ocean, thinking you are going somewhere.
