Steady Wisdom: 108 Verses On Changing My Thinking
DAY 28
The fact is that I am not conscious of anything either within or outside myself, either one at a time or simultaneously. Nor am I non-consciousness. Therefore I am neither a hearer nor a thinker, nor a knower of anything; I am the eternal, inmost witnessing consciousness.
– Sarva Vedanta Siddhanta Sara Sangraha V.840
Meditation
I am consciousness—I alone exist. Because there is only me, there is nothing within myself or outside of myself to be known, either one at a time as a series of thoughts or all at the same time as a group of thoughts. But how can I not be a knower if I am not non-consciousness? It is because knowing is a function of the mind, the same as hearing and thinking. As eternal witnessing consciousness I do not actively know the functions of the mind. Rather, I passively reveal the mind, similar to the way the sun passively illuminates the comings and goings of the world. Since anything revealed is none other than myself, nothing is ever truly revealed. OM.
