All there is, is Infinite Consciousness. There is neither the perceiver nor the perceived. This is the great silence. This is the birthless and deathless state. All that we call unconscious, subconscious, conscious, and superconscious are the different states of expression of this Infinite Consciousness.
Just as we have consciousness and unconsciousness in an individual—who is nothing but the microcosm—the macrocosm is the Cosmic Consciousness and its various expressions—human beings, animals, plants, minerals, and so on.
Take the case of the ocean. It is nothing but water, but the very same water appears as the waves, the foam, the bubbles, the ice, the currents and tides. These are all nothing but the temporary manifestations of the same seawater. It is this oneness that is to be realized.
This is the goal of our life. Only the human being has reached the level of understanding which enables them to realize this great truth. We have the free will to realize or reject this truth. Whenever we reject it we face failure in finding peace and happiness. Such failures ultimately force us to turn toward the truth.
Realization of this truth is the birthless and deathless state. There is no birthday or deathday for this Consciousness. In this timeless state, there is no past, present, or future. There is no old day or new day. It is nowhere, but now here. Let us all realize this truth which is the Light to be unveiled in us.
May the realization of that Light dawn in us. May we recognize the peace that is our own true nature and live in that peace and as that peace. Let us care and let us share. Hari Om Tat Sat.
