\u201cLeaving aside any consideration of his own body, he should experience the consciousness present in another\u2019s body. In a matter of days he will become all-pervading.\u201d<\/p>\n

This remarkable \u015bloka develops the theme of mindfulness. The awareness involved here is not of an object or situation or of one\u2019s own mind, but consciousness of another\u2019s consciousness. The practitioner experiences (anubh\u0101vayet) another person\u2019s state of mind (sa\u1e41vittim).<\/p>\n

This requires on the part of the practitioner a self-emptying, a detachment (tyaktv\u0101) from one\u2019s own limited human condition, one\u2019s own desires and revulsions, self-concept, and anxieties, which are signified by the word \u2018body\u2019 (\u015bar\u012bra). This purification allows a clear vision of the other in the deepest part of their being, namely their consciousness, which is not ethereal but embodied.<\/p>\n

By freedom we perceive freedom. Clear vision alone can fully perceive the truth of another. Thus the detachment from one\u2019s own \u2018body\u2019 enables the practitioner to perceive the consciousness in another\u2019s \u2018body\u2019 (anya\u015bar\u012bre) in all its limitations. One is not limited by the limitations of another.<\/p>\n

As a result, the practitioner becomes omnipresent (vy\u0101p\u012b) in a matter of days (dinair). The perception penetrates everywhere, into vegetation as well as into blooded creatures, the \u2018mobile and immobile\u2019, even into the darkest recesses.<\/p>\n

This is ultimately possible because there is in fact one consciousness. For those who are fully enlightened, there is no distinction between this awareness and that awareness. There is one mind. This is in keeping with the Gospel of St John 1:4 \u2018the Word is the Light that enlightens all people\u2019. Or again, according to Kashmir Shaivism, there is one \u015aiva who is ultimate consciousness. The Qur\u2019an speaks of Allah breathing his breath into human beings, so that the one divine breath unites them all.<\/p>\n

This practice involves becoming aware not only of the deepest truth of others but also of their limited consciousness, indeed their impure consciousness. Only the pure can perceive the impure, whereas impurity is self-defeating because it clouds perception. The awareness of the other\u2019s consciousness comes gently and smoothly, for it is understanding, compassionate and sensitive. And by its presence, the other is assuaged and calmed and satisfied. It has a healing effect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
