disappearing

when the observer and the observed disappear

When you have come to a state of silence where both the observer and the observed have
disappeared, then you will come to know what this sutra means:
MIND, INTELLECT, AND THE FORMED CONTENTS OF THE MIND ARE IT...
Existence is one. It is all a unity. There are not two things in existence – it is oneness, it is one
ocean. All divisions are there because we are divided inside: our divisions inside are projected onto
the outside, and things look divided. When the body is pure, the senses open and the mind is silent,
inner divisions disappear; inside there is pure space. When there is pure space inside, you become
capable of knowing that the outside is also the same pure space it is the same sky outside and in.
In fact, there is no ’out’ and no ’in’ any more, it is all one.

MIND, INTELLECT, AND THE FORMED CONTENTS OF THE MIND ARE IT...

Now you will recognise that even thoughts were not enemies, even desires were not enemies. They
were also forms of the same divinity, of the same one existence. Now you will recognise that
NIRVANA and SAMSARA are not two. Now you will have a very, very deep laugh: that there is
no difference between bondage and enlightenment: that to know and to be ignorant are not different
because division is not possible: that between a Buddha and a man who is not yet enlightened,
there is no difference.
