Qn: I am a painter. Has it any value from a spiritual point of view?
Ans: Painting is going on. You are only watching. Consciousness itself is the greatest painter.
The entire world is a picture. The picture is the world. The painter is God. Language is an instrument of the mind. It is made by mind.
Once you admit a cause, then God is the ultimate cause and the world is the effect.
Qn: People talk of seeing God!
Ans: There is no seeing God apart from the world. Beyond the world to see God is to be God.
The light seeing the world is a tiny spark 'I am'. You see the first and last in every act of knowing and loving.
No world, No God.
Qn: What remains?
Ans: Pure being (Avyakta) .
Qn: What does it mean to see the world as God?
Ans: "I am" denotes the inner, "there is"- the outer. Both are based on the sense of being.
To exist one has to be something. It is becoming, changing, birth, death, rebirth. While in being, there is silent peace. The mind that projects the world, colors it in its own way.
The world is illusory as long as it is subjective. Reality does not depend on memories and expectations, desires and fears, likes and dislikes.
Qn: Is it Turiya .(fourth state)?
Ans: Call it as you like. It is solid , steady, changeless, beginningless and endless, ever new, ever fresh.
Desirelessness and fearlessness will take you there.
