Again and again, one considers one's mind as oneself.
Fear creeps into the mind, and one becomes fearful.
Unconscious impressions - Vaasanas - surface and one thinks one is a sinner.
Desires arise, and one thinks one is lecherous.
Amid all this flux of the mind; if one can see, one is not the mind, . . . that is a transcendence; and a reality.
To see all blemishes of mind as one's own blemishes - that is agyana, ignorance, forgetfulness, virtuality.
- A drop of eternity, Amrita Bindu Upanishad, August 11, 2022
