Only the Self...

Only the Self everywhere! The not-Self doesn't exist. And the Self is not absent at all! So you will see Self everywhere. When I say every-where, it is nowhere. Nowhere itself. Because no distance is involved. No here and somewhere. Self alone is total awareness of Self.


And all those waves and eddies and drops and bubbles—all are just the ocean. So, according to your question, "I see the ocean" is saying "I see the ocean within myself but not in the waves or other eddies, tides, bubbles. There I do not see." So you have to see first the ocean within the ocean, Self within the Self. And this will include everything else. You will contain everything.


The Self contains everything. There is nothing apart from it. This is why you can call it emptiness. There is nothing beyond emptiness. All " is empty. Nothing ever exists.

And when you see something existing, it is not other than you. So wherever there is an idea or concept of duality, of something else, there is confusion there about this. There is no duality at all. Oneness and wholeness is all.


If we accept duality, then there must be frontiers between the two, and then it cannot be limitless. There will be a division between dual¬ity and union. So there cannot be any divisions or frontiers in limitless reality or in truth or emptiness. There are no frontiers. So this is seeing Self everywhere!
