ENLIGHTENMENT BY SELF-INQUIRY–pt186

[The Teaching  of Non-Duality has been adapted from Master Nome, disciple of Sri Ramana Maharshi.  Sections appended below derive from Sri Ramana's Teaching.]

Of course, we know that the Dream World, just like the Dream Sensing, is only the Dreaming Mind, & not otherwise.  It is the Mind that makes those Senses work.  We could say that it is a mode of the Mind that appears as the Senses, & it is a mode of the Mind that appears as the sensed.  The same is true of the Waking State.  All that you have ever experienced as the Objective World is the Sensing, & the Sensing is only brought about by the Mind.  Sensing is a mode of the Mind.

[Sri Ramana]

Concentration of the Mind is in a way common to both Knowledge (jnana) & Yoga (asthanga).  Yoga aims at union of the individual with the Universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, & it does exist. Therefore the Path of Knowledge tries to find out how viyoga (separation) came about.  The separation is from Reality only.
