The Universal Mind...

There is no object external to the self.

What you
call the object is self itself.

Let us take the example
of a dream in which a tiger chases a man.

He runs in
fear and finally climbs up a tree. The tree, the tiger,
the chase, etc., are all a projection of his own mind and
his dream-personality also is a process of his mind.

So the one mind becomes everyone of these in the dream.

It is subjective as well as objective.

This is what is
happening in the waking condition also; and, even as the
one single mind became all objects in the dream, the
universal mind has become all these external objects
around here even in waking life.

They are nothing but
the universal mind ultimately.
