THIS LIFE AND THAT LIFE
Life is a progression towards the Real through the shadowy world of the unreal till in the high noon of immediate realisation (Aparokshaanubhuuti) the shadow disappears and the Sun shines in all its effulgence. It is a seeming movement of the unreal vehicle along unreal tracks through unreal space-time towards the Real. Once the breath stops in purified concentration, the dream breaks and the dreamer with it vanishes into the Void that is the seat of condensed consciousness -- self-brooding, existence absolute -- frozen, integrated, seamless, spherical in non-spatial boundless terms.
Returning from such nullified relativity into its domain once more, the finite form reappears, the nameless one assumes a name again, but the Spirit remains free in continuous penetrative vision through the veil of Maya. The wheel has run its course, the vehicle expends residual fuel in progressive deceleration till the elements that hold, disintegrate, releasing the disembodied being to soar to limpid heights of supernal consciousness if it wishes fresher incarnation, or freeing it forever in Self-subsistence.
Hari Om Tat Sat !
