Let us look at the sovereign statement from a conceptual or lowe perspective SAT-CHIT-ANANDA. I also know That Which Is as SAT-CHIT-ANANTA. In English, BEING/EXISTENCE/LIFE-ABSTRACT INTELLECT/CONSCIOUSNESS-BLISS/HAPPY/PEACE/INFINITE/BOUNDLESS/ETERNAL. What do these concepts/attributes mean? They mean “That Which Is” is neither ASAT nor ACHIT nor DUKKHA. Nor SIMITAM. In English, That Which Is is neither non-being/non-existent/insentient/lifeless nor unconsciousness/comatosed/inert nor miserable/sorrowful/unhappy nor finite/limited/confined. From the perspective of a Jnani/Sage That Which Is “Is,” viz., That Which Is or Being or Consciousness cannot be described but one can be It, realize It, Know It as the Self, the most intimate, as Life or Existence. From a higher perspective, Is your Life not obvious? Your Life is more obvious than a nut held in the palm of your hand. Besides, there is no one other than That. How can someone else or another being make you become aware of your own Life? You become aware of a living Guru and ask for instructions to become aware of your Life? Is it so? Strange huh? A True Sage pushes you inward to become aware of your Life. Chuckle! That Life, your own Existence, yes, your own Life-Consciousness, is one without a second. There are no others, or they or them, nonsense, there is only you. So, there is no awareness of awareness. It is absurd to even think it, see it or even make yourself become aware of It because it is the mind that plays such tactics; No mind is That Which you are in Reality. You search for Reality, You Are That! All a Sage does is make it plain that it is not-this, not-this. All descriptions fail. Why? Because there is no mind, there is no another awareness to be aware of That because It is Itself Awareness. Even SAT-CHIT-ANANDA-ANANTA drops dead at its own feet. The Self pushes you inward and wants you to be thoughtless. Then lets your thoughtlessness (no-mind) lead you to the alter of the most sacred, Pure Mind. We can say, That You Are, Tat Tvam Asi. You create the Sage and then go to him for instruction. You are the greatest creator. You create variety, then, you ask a Sage what is non-duality, funny huh. Your creation, including variety, is non-dual, if your eye is open.
Repeatedly, In Spain, many times, many different grades and states of being have been witnessed. One such of It happened naturally in Estepona, Spain, ending in immense inner burst of true happiness. It happened again naturally in a small village in Geseke, Germany. In a very old house that was refurbished by us, in the back garden there is an old Cheery tree. I usually listen to the songs of birds in the evening, sitting, being thoughtless, not meditating at all. Over several days, I noticed being dreamless; increasing in intensity over days, I became dreamless and thoughtless. I woke up one morning in an intense thoughtless state, went downstairs and made myself morning ablution and tea and then, I KNOW NOTHING. Days later the chatter came back. I realized and knew neither was there I nor not I, SAT nor ASAT, CHIT nor ACHIT, ANANDA nor DUKKHA, ANANTA nor SIMITAM. I recall here the state NASADIYA SUKTA (10th Mandala of Rig Veda; Wikipedia):
Nasadiya Sukta (Hymn of non-Eternity, origin of universe):
There was neither non-existence nor existence then;
Neither the realm of space, nor the sky which is beyond;
What stirred? Where? In whose protection?
There was neither death nor immortality then;
No distinguishing sign of night nor of day;
That One breathed, windless, by its own impulse;
Other than that there was nothing beyond.
Who really knows? Who will here proclaim it?
Whence was it produced? Whence is this creation?
Gods came afterwards, with the creation of this universe.
Who then knows whence it has arisen?
Whether God’s will created it, or whether He was mute;
Perhaps it formed itself, or perhaps it did not;
The Supreme Brahman of the world, all pervasive and all knowing He indeed knows, if not, no one knows.
Brahman is I. But I certainly Know Nothing. This is JNANA! All Knowing. There is nothing else to know or make known. Neither time nor space, neither eternity nor here nor now, how can any object arise when there is no space? Neither duality nor non-duality. What are these words anyway? Who is there to say, Ah, Non-Duality, Ah, Eternity, Ah This and That, etc. Just bla, bla, bla. Thereafter, just Being and being Life, the Self, smack in the middle of all paradoxes in the natural state Is. Who are You? What are You? You are SATCHITANANDA! It is incredible how HOLY your Life is, truly. Seek your own Darshan, seek your own Satsang! As you are, is Seeing God as He really Is
