4 Comments The
seeker also understands from this verse that body, breath, mind are not
real, they are only illusory and our Inner Self is the same Supreme Self.
This state of self-realization liberates him from the self-created
barriers.
The
tangible Universe is a modification of mind. It is not perceived in deep
sleep because in deep sleep it disappears. The mind is capable of
producing numerous tangible forms. All the forms and names are created by
the Cosmic Mind. The Cosmic Mind is the total of all Individual Minds, but
Individual Mind itself is not capable of leading the person on the path of
self-realization.
When
the Individual Mind does not create barriers, the quality of mind is
called Saatwik mind; and when the mind is Saatwik it becomes easier for a
person to break the delusion created by the mind itself: "I am small,
I am of this form" etc. As long as the person identifies himself with
the thoughts, feelings and objects of the mind, he can never establish
himself in his essential nature (Aatmaa).
