Questioner: What is mind?
M: Mind is the language of the vital breath. That
mind-language will talk only about the impressions it has collected. The
knowledge "I Am" is not a thought but observes the thoughts.
Out of prana, the pranava, the beginning of sound, in the
sound is the love to be. The innermost, subtlest principle is that gnawing
principle "I Am, I Am," without words, by which you know you are. It
has no form or image, it is only beingness, the love to be.
Para shakti is the beingness or love to be. The next stage
of the Para shakti is Para shunti, the formation but not yet perceptible. The
next stage is mind formation: the language is formed in the mind, next is the
explosion of words, vocal words. In this where are you? This is a process
happening.
For you I am expounding very secret knowledge about your own
beingness, how it came about - that is what I am talking about.
This play is just happening; you are not playing a part.
When you are ignorant, you think you are playing a part in this manifest world.
There is no one working deliberately - it is happening spontaneously. You
cannot claim anything in this process. When you are thoroughly knowledgeable
you will come to the conclusion that this beingness is also an illusion.
Q. Who recognizes that it is illusion or ignorance?
M. Only that one recognizes or witnesses all that as
ignorance. That one cannot understand That one, he can witness and understand
only the ignorance. The one who recognizes all this as ignorance, that one is
knowledgeable.
