There is consciousness and then there are the objects of consciousness. U r consciousness itself. Not an object of awareness. When u observe a tree, u r consciousness and tree is the object of awareness. Similarly, when u observe a thought, u r consciousness and thought is the object of awareness.
Objects of awareness keep changing. But consciousness itself does not change. U r consciousness itself. U never change. No object of awareness can make u weak or strong or less or more. Nothing can b taken away from u. Nothing can b added to u. U are immutable, unattached.
The objects are always so fascinating. The stories that are woven are so interesting. One such interesting story is the "I story." What is this "I?" A bunch of thoughts that go round n round in loop. "I am Thehseen. I am suffering. I want to b free."
So this suffering "I" is a thought arising in consciousness. It is an object of consciousness. But consciousness itself can never suffer. This body, these thoughts, emotions (the impact of thoughts on the body) are all objects and they change constantly. But consciousness itself does not change. Reality, consciousness, aanandam - One without a second.
To experience this each moment without being deluded is freedom. Freedom for whom? Isnt consciousness always free. Then who needs to b freed?? Where is the soul that needs to be saved? What is this that we call soul?
