"O Svetaketu, do you understand what I am telling you? This great but most essence of all the worlds is the Truth, the Atman, the Supreme Reality within you, and you are THAT" - Uddalaka - Chhandogya U. > But I agree with him that the categories of his > system and the definitions of MMY are different > from tradition... > Not so different, it seems to me. For example, in Brahmi Chetana you no longer are in a relationship to this creation because you are this creation, Brahman. In this state, according to MMY, there is no duality, there is no other, because when all thought drops off, you are left all by your Self. At other times you reflect duality, self and others. "When mental activity disappears, then knower, knowing and known become merged one into another, just like a transparent crystal which assumes the appearance of that upon which it rests." Pantanjali - Yoga Sutras I.41.
