Svayam Prakash - self illuminating

\n


\n

knower - known - process of knowing: 3 aspects

\n

Consciousness is all three.

\n

"like Sun" 

\n


\n

Examples:

\n

soapnut powder & dirt; world &dream; mother of pearl & silver; Bubbles in water; gold & ornaments

\n


\n

kirti-kanchana-kamini - three desires which bind us.

\n


\n

Example of kataka-nut: use a thorn to remove the thorn - throw them both away.

\n


\n

Tiger in the dream also goes away.

\n


\n

Why do people react the way they do when they have a bad dream and carry forward it to their waking state?

\n


\n

- Identity, vasanas, ignorance,

\n


\n

Vasanas of the waking world projects the dream. In dream we don't create more samskaras or vasanas.

\n


\n

Three examples from Mundakopanishad:

\n

Spider (material & efficient), earth (one, many), nails (sentient creating non-sentient)

\n


\n

Do dreams convey something important?

\n


\n

Do we see the differences from our vantage point today?

\n


\n

Empathy will have powerfulness when we understand 'advaita' - not two;
