As in a dream the mind vibrates, as though having dual aspects, so in the waking state the mind the mind vibrates (spandate) as though with two facets.
There is no doubt that in dreams, the mind though one, appears in dual aspects; so also in the waking state, the mind, though one appears to have two aspects (cognizer and cognized). All this that there is together with all that moves or does not move is perceived by the mind; for when the mind ceases to be mind, duality is no longer perceived. When Consciousness is in vibration, appearances do not come to it from anywhere else. Neither do they go anywhere else from consciousness when It is at rest, nor do they enter into it. They did not issue out Consciousness, by reason of their insubstantiality; for they are ever beyond comprehension, being without relation of cause and effect. This duality, possessed of subject and object, is a vibration (cittaspanditam eva) of Consciousness indeed . Consciousness is objectless; hence it is declared to be eternally with relations.
