You see, the thing is, there is knower, the known and the process of knowing. This is very beautiful. And when you have two people each observing a thing, you have two knowers, two processes of knowing -- but only one thing, one object of knowing. This is very beautiful. What is this object of knowing? huh? huh? So when one person says, "the rose is red" and the other person says "the rose is black", then we know that there may be many truths, but only One Truth. You see the point? Whether the rose is red or black, is not material. (howls of laughter). Its not material. You see? The rose is not material. But the person who sees black, that may be because they are black inside. Dark. No light. And the person who sees the red rose is full of light inside. You see? The rose is the rose but each person seeing the rose, sees it in their own way. They create their own reality, their own level of awareness. Sometimes there is enough light to just see the surface value. Other times there is sufficient light to see the entire rose -- all of its values, from surface down to the sap, the quantum level of sap. Now the Ved is so profound that it sees truth in everything. There is truth in the man who sees black rose. And there is truth in the man who sees infinite value of the rose. Both are true according to their own level of awareness, the level of light they have inside, and shine onto the process of knowing. Yous see? Its very beautiful. So the Ved sees from the level of Brahman. The Ved sees the wholeness of life. The complete wholeness. Even the man who sees the rose in full light, who sees the infinite value of the rose, is still not the full truth. Ved shines Its light, and the whole thing is revealed. You see. Its so profound, so profound this very simple knowledge from our tradition of masters. It is not a complicated thing, its the most simple thing. the most simple, relaxed thing on the entire universe. So the man who sees the rose is black, we don't say "you are black inside". No we smile and say, "yes, that is part of the truth. very good. You are getting part of the truth." Now if this man who sees black, this man in darkness, then if he takes his awareness to the level of the Ved, then instantly, as fast as light travels, he will see the total truth. the whole truth. the wholeness. So we invite the man who sees dark to just dive deep into that fundamental level of the Ved -- and all his darkness and grumbling will go away. Like darkness in a room. It does not exist. Its gone once the light is turned on. You see? Its very beautiful. We celebrate the man who sees only blackness, only darkness, the blindman, we see the blindman as part of the Ved. And when we take our awareness to the level of Brahm, the level of the Ved, then we see the totality of the man in darkness. Darkness is a reflection of the Ved. Light is a reflection of the Ved. Together, they are what Ved Sees. When Knower, Object, and Process of Knowing become one. Become One on the Unified Field of Awareness. Then the man in darkness just disappears. You see the point?
