CHAPTER 9
DOCTRINE OF MENTALISM
The Universe is only an idea. It is the heart that takes all these forms.
That is called the Witness wherein no ego or sense or personality remains.
Appar (a saint) was decrepit and old, yet began to travel to Kailas.
Another old man appeared on the way and tried to dissuade him from the
attempt saying that it was difficult to reach there. Appar was obstinate.
The stranger then asked him to dip in a tank close by. Appar did so and
found Kailas then and there. Where did this happen? In Tiruvaiyar, a place
9 miles from Tanjore. If Tiruvaiyar be truly Kailas it must appear so to
others also. But Appar alone found it so. Similarly other places of
pilgrimage in the South are said to be abodes of Siva. Devotees found them
so. True from their standpoints. Everything is within. There is nothing
without.
The spirit is wrongly identifying itself with the gross body. The body has
been projected by the mind; the mind itself has originated from the spirit.
If the wrong identification ceases, there will be peace and permanent
unbroken bliss. Life is existence which is your Self. That is life eternal.
Other-wise, can you imagine a time when you are not? That life is not
conditioned by the body and you wrongly identify your existence with that
of the body. You are life unconditioned. These bodies attach themselves to
you as mental projections and you are afflicted by 'I-am-the-body' idea. If
this idea ceases, you are your self.
You exist in sleep even without the body. Then ego arises, and then the
mind which projects the body exists, you say that it was born and that it
will die and thus transfer it to the Self saying that you are born and that
you will die. In fact you exist without the body, in sleep; as you exist
now along with the body also. The Self can exist apart from the body.
"I-am-the-body" thought is ignorance; that the body is not apart from the
Self, is therefore knowledge. The body is a mental projection.
The body thought is distract from the Self. For whom is the body or birth?
It is not for the Self, the spirit. It is for the non-self which imagines
itself separate.
Just as a miser keeps his treasures always with him-self and never parts
with them, so the Self safeguards the vasanas in that which is closest to
itself, i.e. within the Heart. The heart radiates vitality to the brain and
thus causes its function. The Vasanas are enclosed in the heart in their
subtlest form, and later projected on the brain, which reflects them with
high magnification. This is how the world is made to go on and this is why
the world is nothing more than a cinema
show.
The world is not external. The sense impressions cannot have an outer
origin, because the world can be cognised only by consciousness. The world
does not say it exists; it is you who say it exists; it is your impression.
Yet this impression is not unbroken. In sleep the world is not cognised; it
exists not for a sleeping man. Therefore the world is the result of the
ego. Find out the ego. Its source is the final goal.
The world is a result of your mind. Know your mind.
The world is only phenomena appearing on that pure consciousness. Pure
Consciousness is itself unaffected.
Universe is like a painting on a screen. That which rises and sinks is made
up of what it rises from. The finality of the universe is the Self.
The finer transformation of universal electric force is into thought-force,
thought used creatively; the divine "I shall do this" willing creatively,
ideation, Sankalpa.
Q. Does the Realised Sage see the world?
A. Yes. But his outlook differs. Cinema pictures move, but go and hold
them. What do you hold? Only the screen. Let the pictures disappear. What
remains over. The screen again. So also here. Even when world appears the
Jnani sees it only as a manifestation of the Self.
There is only one mind functioning through the five senses. There is a
power working through the senses. The work of the senses begins and ends.
There must be a substratum on which their activities depend, a single
substratum.
The gross body is only the concrete form of the subtle stuff--mind:
Q. I may not be able to return here and request Bhagvan's grace.
A. Where are you going? You are not going anywhere. Even supposing you are
the body, has your body come from Lucknow to Tiruvannamalai? You had simply
sat in the car or one conveyance or another and it had moved and finally
you say that you have come here. The fact is that you are not the body. The
Self does not move but the world moves in it. You are only what you are.
There is no change in you. So even after what looks like departure from
here, you are here and there and everywhere. The scenes alone change.
All scriptures are only for the purpose of investigating if there are two
consciousnesses. Everyone's experience proves the existence of only one
consciousness. There is only one consciousness. But we speak of several
kinds of consciousness, as body-consciousness, self-consciouness, etc.
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.
Q. From where do these objects arise?
A. Just wherefrom you rise. 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.
The Cinema illustration: You are the screen, the Self has created the ego,
the ego has its thoughts which are displayed to the world like
cinema-pictures. Those thoughts are the world. But in reality there is
nothing but Self. These are all projections of the ego
