Namaste bhakta,
Ya. Ya. That was very much pre-meditated. Medicine for an ignorance as wild as a wild elephant is different.
So is the Universe and Brahman, like atanu and unata. So is Siv and Vis. So is Self and self, which are images of Self in many hues. There is no Seer but Him. There is no knower but Him. Do not delude yourself. A single moon appears many in many small small poodles.
Katha Up.
2-II-9. Just as fire, though one, having entered the world, assumes a separate form in respect of every form, so does the in-dwelling Self of all beings, though one, assume a form in respect of every form, and is outside it.
2-II-10. Just as wind, though one, having entered the world, assumes a separate form in respect of each form, so does the in-dwelling Self of all beings, though one, assumes a form in respect of every form and is outside it.
2-II-11. Just as the sun, which is the eye of the entire world, is not tainted by the external impurities seen by the eyes, so also, the in-dwelling Self of all beings, though one, is not tainted by the sorrows of the world, It being external.
And my rejoinders are, mostly, with love --- to put the right questions. It does not happen instantly, and no one accepts that such and such questions of atanu helped, but I have seen many get the light that "Oh, yes, it is impossible to know the truth being the untruth".
With Love,
Om Namah Shivaya

That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
