: THE WORLD
Who is this ‘I’? It seems to be only a continuum of sense impression.
The Buddhist idea seems to be so too.
M.: The world is not external. The impressions cannot have an outer origin.
Because the world can be cognised only by consciousness. The world does not
say that it exists. It is your impression. Even so
this impression is not consistent and not unbroken. In deep sleep the world
is not cognised; and so it exists not for a sleeping man.
Therefore the world is the sequence of the ego. Find out the ego. The
finding of its source is the final goal.
Bhagavan says, "...it is a great wonder that to teach such a simple truth a number of religions should be necessary and that so many disputes should go on between them as to which is the God-ordained teaching. What a pity! Just be one's Self, that's all.
