There are two viewpoints: a qualified truth for the lower stage of
aspirants which admits duality; and the complete viewpoint of
nonduality for the highest student; thus for practical life, when
dealing with other people or when engaged in some activity,
those in the first stage must accept the notion of the world being real,
because of expediency; yet even so, when they are alone or when
keeping quiet, inactive, they ought to revert back to regarding the
world, which includes one's own body as a part of it, as idea. Only
for the sage is the truth always present, no matter whether he is with others,
whether he is working, or whether he is in trance, and this truth is continuous awareness of
one Reality alone and one Self alone...........Paul Brunton
