When you wake up all of that space, including what saw as the park, the dakota, the eldorado towers, vithanta society, a central park west, all of that was within you, the dreaming mind. Was it not true? The distinction between ritti gan and sorupegana is useful. Sorupe gana reveals the activities of the mind and the brain. It seems like common sense to day that brain is producing consciousness, butit may be the gateway for consciousness, the instrument for consciousness. But troublem there is, you have already assumed too much. We said awareness. We arlier said constant. Is neither born nor does it
"The objects of knowledge, viz., sound, touch, etc., which are perceived in the waking state, are different from each other because of their peculiarities; but the consciousness of these, which is different from them, does not differ because of its homogeneity." Inspired by this verse from the book, Pancadasi by Vidyaranya (Ch 1, Verse 3), Swami Sarvapriyananda gives a discourse on direct path of Advaita Vedanta.
