Consciousness and Space
Consciousness and space are one living reality. Space does not expand or contract, for it is limitless. Consciousness is the life of space, present within all. This consciousness is the Paramātmā, the singular supreme Self. The apparent many are like beads on a single thread, connected by the one Ātmā. Realized saints express this truth in their bhajans, which contain the essence of all wisdom. The individual self, or Jīvā, is ultimately this one consciousness, appearing as many through duality. All forms are like drops from one ocean, destined to merge back into the whole. Our journey is to realize this unity.
"Eko’ham, dvitīyo nāsti." I am one. The rest is duality.
"Śrī Guru Ātmā Paramātmā." The Guru, the Self, and the Supreme Self are one.
