the following is from Yoga Vasistha....i arranged the sentences to convey the meaning with clarity... :))
"the Creator's thought being the cause of this manifold creation and the Creator himself having no physical body, the creation too is truly of the nature of thought without materiality......made only of thought,all these beings only appeared to be ,though they felt that
that appearance was real.....Though these forms are of the nature of pure intelligence,on account of self forgetfulness of this, and of the thought of physical forms,they freeze into the physical forms, even as goblins though formless are seen to have forms on account of the perceiver's delusion.....The object of perception is inherent in the perceiver...Bear in mind that just as a bracelet of gold is but gold (and though gold exists without being a bracelet,bracelet does not exist without gold) ,the qualities and the nature of created and the potentiality of creation are inherent in the Creator.....As long as one clings to the notion of "you" and "i" ,there is no liberation.....As long as the notion of creation lasts,even the comtemplation (samadhi) in which there is no movement of thought (nirvikalpa) is not possible.Even if it were possible ,the moment one returns from such contemplation,the creation with its sorrows arises in the mind...Movement of thought creates the notion of created objects." |
