All Unreal Like Dream

Disciple:

How should I remain so that I may experience what you have described as Bliss?

Master:

If you get rid of that mode of mind which gives rise to the states of waking, dream and sleep, you will remain as your true being and also experience Bliss. If you ask how to control the activities of the mind, rising up from its latencies: rule over the intellect and senses as your slaves. They will become extinct. Also by gentle control of the breath which blows like a bellows, the activities of the mind cease. If you are not inclined to practice this yoga, they will cease if you root out the massive ignorance of the causal body. Then too the mind stops its activities.

Disciple:

By what means can I root out ignorance, the causal body?

Master:

The shrutis can never mislead one. How can there be ignorance if you firmly fix their teaching in your mind: I am the all-perfect being in whom the worlds appear?

Disciple:

How can I remain so when I engage in worldly transactions, with the mind wandering?

Master:

There is nothing apart from Me. Whatever is seen, is of Me. I am the "I" who is consciousness, which sees all this as fictitious as my dream. If you always remain aware that 'I' am perfect consciousness, what does it matter how much you think, or what you do? All this is unreal like dream visions after waking. I am all-Bliss!
