   Meenakshi : Connection

Saraswati and Lila

Meenakshi said Feb 25, 7:15 PM:

 

“O Lila, give up this form of yours and attain the pure spiritual insight. For only Brahman can really see or realize Brahman. My body is made of pure light, pure consciousness. Your body is not. With this body of yours you cannot even visit the places of your own imagination. Then how can you enter the field of another’s imagination? 

But if you attain the body of light, you will immediately see the holy man’s house[what you are seeking to see]. 

Affirm to yourself :”I shall leave my body here and take a body of light. With that body, like the scent of incense I shall go to the house of the holy man.”

Even as water mixes with water, you will become one with the field of consciousness.

By the persistent practice of such meditation, even your body will become one of pure consciousness and subtle. For, I see even my body as consciousness. You do not, for you see the world of matter. 

Such ignorance arises out of its own accord, but is dispelled by wisdom and inquiry.
In fact such ignorance does not even exist! There is neither unwisdom nor ignorance; neither bondage, nor liberation.

There is but one pure consciousness.
