LECTURE EIGHT
SYNOPSIS
* One who has understood himsā (injury) to be terrible will
not commit any sin. * One whose mind is in a state of equilibrium will not
commit any sin. * One who sees unity behaves in a uniform way. * One who behaves in a uniform way understands unity. * Let us begin the search for truth by searching ourselves
and our life. * Breathing keeps us alive, the mind and empirical cons
ciousness keep us going and consciousness enlightens
us. * See with your closed or open or half-closed eyes-- see the
end-point of the nose, objects and vibrations. * You will gain insight, the status of spectator, equality and
neutrality. * What to see ?
* Those who are prone to anger will see anger. * Those who see terror will see the maturing of anger. * Those who are equanimous should see equality. * Those who experience nothing but the self should per
ceive the pure soul. * Those who see the supreme should continue to see the
supreme. * Those who have given up desires should perceive
inaction. * Those who see the body should go on perceiving the
body.
