Bhagavan: There is only one consciousness. But we speak of several kinds of consciousness, as body-consciousness, Self-consciousness. They are only relative states of the same Absolute consciousness. Without consciousness, time and space do not exist. They appear in consciousness. It is like a screen on which these are cast as pictures and move as in a cinema show. The Absolute consciousness is our real nature.
D.: From where do these objects arise?
M.: Just from where you rise. Know the subject first and then question about the object.
D.: It is only one aspect of the question.
M.: The subject comprehends the object also. That one aspect is an all-comprehensive aspect. See yourself first and then see the objects. What is not in you cannot appear outside.
D.: I am not satisfied.
M.: Satisfaction can be only when you reach the source. Otherwise restlessness exists.
