Consciousness is totally open to every object. Good thoughts are revealed by consciousness. The very fact that i have miserable thoughts, obsessive thoughts, unhappy thoughts, all revealed by consciousness has no resistance. This consciousness is the self, is you? Cidru posy migt say, wonderful for consciousness. Sounds like an amazing thing, but i have many problems. Wait. You are that consciousness. Normally we think, before examination, before adwite, before astavakra, we think, i am this. And why should it not be? It's not affected by anything. If it was not open to something, it would not arise in consciousness at all. You wouldn't experience
Inspired by the 15th chapter of the Ashtavakra Gita, Swami Sarvapriyananda gives a discourse on the nature of the Self.
