Evolution of love

PARAMAMRITA

Whenever you think, it is the mind that does the thinking;

when the “me” is involved in the thinking, it is the ego;

when you are quiet, the very quietude is in Consciousness itself.

Consider this: if you could have remained absolutely quiet, would any recollection

have ever sprouted?

Would there have been any wish, any desire?

If you could have remained absorbed in the Consciousness, would you have been

troubled by thoughts? Would there have been any cause then to identify yourself with

the body as a separate individual?

Therefore, my friend, that wherein all ignorance disappears is a totally different dimension.

If there were not something called pure knowledge, the Totality of all possibilities,

where would the ego have arisen? This pure and perfect Knowledge – neither knowledge

nor non-knowledge – is not aware of itself. It becomes a witness only when a movement

in Consciousness presents some manifestation to witness.
