In self-knowledge, there is no place for knowledge
Even that of the knowledge I am.
All of it gets washed out.
Have you heard this anywhere?
For some spiritual teachers, consciousness is the upper limit.
They say,
You are not the body, but the dynamic consciousness.
They do not go beyond consciousness.
Even my guru told me, you are consciousness.
What is beyond that, you have to find it yourself.
The consciousness is godly, but it is not eternal.
A jnani is an expression of the eternal in a bodily form.
The jnani is not the form, they only appear to be so.
The transient consciousness cannot accompany the jnani indefinitely.
Ultimately, consciousness is temporary.
Your true reality is prior to the senses, spaceless, timeless, without attributes.
Consciousness is the temporary condition which has come upon the total, timeless, spaceless, changeless state.
It is a happening which has come and which will disappear.
Don't arrogate to yourself the doership of anything.
It is all just happening.
