Consciousness...

Shri Atmananda from Spiritual Discourses


When you know any object, you stand as Consciousness; and the object also cannot
help appearing as Consciousness, since Consciousness cannot perceive anything but
Consciousness. Or, in other words, when you rise to the level of Consciousness to
examine the object, it is also transformed into Consciousness and its objectivity
disappears.
So objects cannot exist as such, when you stand as Consciousness. While everything
shines by the light of Consciousness, Consciousness does not require any other
light, because it is self-luminous.
