Waking into itself the mind within itself subject and objectsbeing. Give and take within the mind.

The "ekamebadwitiyam" brahma has condensed into "you along with your senses" as also the varieties of the external world which "you experience with your senses" like seeing, hearing, tasting. Nobody can ever feel that I am all the external world. He can only feel that he along with the external world dissolves or merges into brahma

Swami Sarvapriyananda 🙏 All things arise from "that" which perceives - "that" is Awareness (synonymous with Consciousness) which is One's True (Self) Nature or the "I Am-ness" (or God, Buddha, Brahman, Tao, Allah or whatever names by traditions). Without Awareness, nothing is perceived, thus nothing exists. And that which conceives or thinks is the superficial (apparently real) mind. The body is like a 'conduit' for Awareness to functionalize into all sorts of sensing ie seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling, feeling, minding, etc. By or through the perceptive senses, Awareness experiences itself in the world of names, forms, objects & phenomena. Whatever it 'sees' or perceives - is actually itself!. Awareness still awares eventhough the body & mind cease ie death. As it neither comes nor goes, neither decreases nor increases, neither stays nor departs. Its Nature is beyond time & space, unbounded, timeless & spaceless, and pervades the entire Universe. It never dies, self existing & eternal. 😊🙏🙇♂️🌷

A Jnani, when his ego rises up, enjoys his transcendental experience with this ego keeping his lakshya (aim) always on its source. This ego is not dangerous: it is like the skeleton of a burnt rope: in this form, it is ineffective. By constantly keeping our aim on our source, our ego is dissolved in its source. like a doll of salt in the ocean. Ramana Maharshi

So why can't we enter into other persons mind?

But here and there is reality, it is not me. Is this what it means -my physical body is just a means for cosmos to look at itself. Trying to find 'I' inside body is a futile exercise.

Tat Twam Asi - Thou art That. The body has no life of itself. If it had, if life was intrinsic to it, it would never die. Thought has no life of itself. Thought is a register, memory. It's mechanical. Life (existence), which is Consciousness, vivifies the set body-mind. Vivified by Existence-Consciousness (Sat-Chit), thought creates the idea "I", the ego, which identifies itself with a body. Because it is limited, the ego has the feeling of separation. Because it's vivified by the completeness of the infinite Life-Consciousness, it tries to become complete and goes after wealth, power, fame, position, knowledge and many other things of the projection named "world" - and never feels itself complete this way. I am alive and conscious. Who am I? Do I have to make some kind of effort to reach Existence-Consciousness? This comprehension gradually removes the wrong identification with these instruments which are part of the manifestation of my true nature.
