By matter, i mean whatever is experienced in consciousness. But remember, in this i am including mind also. If it's experienced, then it's an object. And that object i'm calling matter, just for the sake of simplicity. The other e theory is opposite. Consciousness produces matter. Aha adwate no, not a dvita veranta. It's a vast unconscious, material universe and consciousness lizs like a flickering flame at in the corner of a dark, mostly dark room.
"I, the One, illumine this body and also reveal this universe. Therefore, mine is all this universe or indeed nothing is mine." Inspired by this verse from the Ashtavakra Gita, Swami Sarvapriyananda speaks on the nature of the Self.
