Everything Is Brahman
Everything is Brahman is a recognition that transcends the intellect and perception - it cannot be thought or seen into existence, but arises spontaneously beyond the mind.
Yes, yes [Smile] it is. Everything is Brahman - To be able to ‘see’ that ‘everything is Brahman’ what would that mean for you? What would that mean? You will start to see some ports fields connecHng everything as one! [Smile] - It’s not a perceptual seeing and this is the fundamental struggle in spirituality because it is a recogniHon but it is not a perceptual seeing and the mind cannot fathom that. Though, I used to say ‘What do you know, when you know nothing? Or when I say ‘What do you know independent of thinking and percepHon?’ The ‘mind’ cannot dissolve a quesHon like that. But beyond your intellect, the answer is super clear to you and that recogniHon is what is called the ‘recogniHon.’ To go beyond the intellect is the recogniHon, but it is not a perceptual recogniHon. This is very important because of a lot of us in spirituality struggle with these things. We are trying to think our way to Freedom or perceive our way to Freedom.
