Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

The I always brings subjectivity with it.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

It is this ultimate subjective principle I divested of even that subjectivity that is the goal.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

Consciousness and happiness may possibly have a taint of objectivity in their conception, since they always express themselves in the realm of the mind.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

When one is deeply convinced that one's self is consciousness and happiness, one finds it as the nameless.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

Whereupon even this namelessness seems a limitation.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

Giving up that as well, one remains as the I principle, the Absolute.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

When you try to visualize the absolute in you, nothing can possibly disturb you because every thought or perception points to yourself and only helps you to stand established as the absolute.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

To become a sage means to become aware of what you are already.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

In all your life,

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

you feel you have not changed.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

And of all your manifold activities from your birth onwards, the only activity that has never changed is knowing.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

So both these must necessarily be one and the same.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

And therefore, knowingness is your real nature.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

Thus, knowing is never an activity in the worldly sense.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

since this knowing has neither a beginning nor an end.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

And because it is never separated from you, it is your real nature.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

Just as shining is the real nature of the sun and not its function,

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

Understanding it in this way and realizing it as one's true nature brings about liberation from all bondage.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

When you reach consciousness or happiness, you lose all sense of objectivity or duality and stand identified with the ultimate subjective I principle or the absolute.

Wisdom of the Masters
Atmananda Krishna Memon ~ Mind as No Mind ~ Advaita

Then the subjectivity also vanishes.
