' Only Mind '...

Mind is its own seer and seen, self and not‑self, experiencer and the thing experienced.

It is one but it has many functions through which it is able to present innumerable different manifestations of itself to innumerable different ‘selves.’

The latter in their ignorance take the presented world because of its ‘outsideness’ to be non‑mental in its nature and fail to see that their separation from it is only a surface one.

It is certainly outside the body but not outside the mind. Thus what is essentially a mental activity is taken to be a material substance.

This is insight, that there is nothing in the world but Mind. This is the meaning of mentalism.
