objects, never meditatively experienced the true nature of Consciousness.
The ONE Awareness encompasses ALL that exists. Its true nature is eternal - without beginning, without end. - Thus, whoever claims that there's beginning or an end, never realized the majestic timelessness of his own Consciousness.
Someone who never truly searched for and found the core of his consciousness ...
- who never directly experienced that Consciousness
exists beyond everything manifested and also
encompasses all Unmanifested, ... - who never experienced Consciousness in its original,
primordial nature, - never in its unmanifested, un
created state beyond form ... - who never experienced how Consciousness carries
all potentialities within itself, ... ... what worth carries his claim that Consciousness was somehow created?
Consciousness IS, - born of itself, - without cause, without an objective set for its manifested and unmanifested existence, - without anything existing outside of
it.
Consciousness in its true nature cannot be grasped by intellect alone.
Insight into its true nature cannot be acquired, cannot be obtained by any specific course of action, by studying, by learning a certain knowledge, by special blessings etc.
