When your mind is pure
The world is known as it is
The One Reality
No-otherness
What is a pure mind?
Pure mind is that which is
Unburdened by otherness*
It is itself No-otherness**
What does this mean?
You, the seeming otherness
Cannot know No-otherness
Only No-otherness can
What is the implication?
When otherness falls away
No-otherness is laid bare
The One Reality
In and as No-otherness
There is no otherness
What appears as the world
Is That, No-otherness
Your mind serving otherness
Sees itself as being separate
From a world full of people and things
The root cause of suffering
To purify your mind
Realize the truth of otherness
In being aware of its absence
Be aware of Awareness
Pristine Awareness is pure mind
Unburdened by otherness
And its artifacts of duality
The Non-dual Self
Not knowledge this
Not worth anything to know this
If you cannot follow it as
A pointer to what is Real
* otherness is the stubborn sense of personhood, the sense that you are a separate person apart from the world of which you are a part
** No-otherness is a pointer to the unnameable Reality, One without a second, as it is, unchanging, ever-present, the real meaning of the Sanskrit term ‘Advaita‘
