Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 THUS SPAKE RAMANA - 29 You dream in your sleep, while lying in bed in Tiruvanamalai, and find youself in another town. The same is real to you. Your body is here and you are on your bed in a room. Can a town enter your room or could you have left this place and gone elsewhere leaving the body here? Both are impossible. Therefore your being here and seeing another town are both unreal. They appear real to the mind. The 'I' of the dream has vanished. Another 'I' speaks of the dream. This 'I' was not in the dream. Both the 'I's are unreal. There is the substratum of the mind which continues all along, giving rise to so many scenes. With every thought rises the 'I' and with its disappearance that 'I' disappears too. So the 'I's are born and die every moment. The subsisting mind is the real trouble. That is the thief according to Janaka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
