Chapter-18
Release
This cannot be expressed in words, it can be realised only through experience. Then whatever he says, because of the latent impressions of his past actions or calls Me, I respond to his call; but there the one who says or calls, is also Myself. If the speaker is also Myself, then no conversation is possible, and so his silence amounts to praising Me. So when he calls Me and I respond to his call, his calling and praising Me, is affected through silence. Whatever the devotee sees with his vision of intellect, that seeing does not show him any visible object, but his own Self (1151-1155). Just as the seeing agent sees the same face, which was there before he looked into the mirror, so the seeing on the part of the seer, makes him view himself. In the absence of an object to be seen, what the seeing agent sees is his own Self. Since there remains nothing but the seeing agent, the seeing has no focus. Just as a person who sees his beloved in a dream and moves forward to embrace her and on waking up, finds that he is alone, or as the fire which is ignited by the friction of two sticks, burns both the pieces and remains only as fire, or as the sun goes to seize his reflection in water, then the reflection disappears along with his disc (1156-1160), so he who, after becoming one with Me, goes to see the object, then the act of seeing as also the object to be seen, disappear. |
