When the mind dissolves...

The mirror can do nothing to attract the sun. It can only keep bright. As soon as the mind is ready, the sun shines in.

[The light] is uncaused and unvarying by itself, and colored by the mind as soon as it moves and changes.
It is very much like a cinema. The light is not in the film, but the film colors the light and makes it appear to move by intercepting it.

The world is but the surface of the mind and the mind is infinite.

What we call thoughts are just ripples in the mind.

When the mind is quiet it reflects reality.

When it is motionless through and through, it dissolves and only reality remains.
