Hail to the useful thing the "Word", celebrated as the donor of remembrance!
Is it not a mirror that shows clearly the formless Supreme?

***

The twigs in the form of the objects of seeing and the innumerable waves of visions are created by the Seer's seeing faculty alone.

***

When all the phenomena spread out before us take place only because of knowledge then how come there is the flood of ignorance here?

If all this were to be called ignorance what would be the nature of knowledge? Otherwise, whatever there is, is all Atman (the conscious Spirit of Love).

***

As far as we are concerned there is not even knowledge of ignorance in us. Our Master and Lord made us realise what we really are.
