SARASVATI continued:
Liberation is the realization of the total non-existence of the universe as such. This is
different from a mere denial of the existence of the ego and the universe! The latter is
only half-knowledge. Liberation is to realize that all this is pure consciousness.
Indeed, the prior hallucination of the creation of the holy man and his wife was due to
the thought- form of the Brahma, the creator. He himself had no hidden thought-forms
(memory), for before creation there was dissolution and at that time the Creator had
attained liberation.
At the beginning of this epoch, someone assumes the role of creator and thinks “I am
the new creator” – this is pure coincidence, even as one sees a crow alighting on a palm
tree and the cocoanut falling, though these two are independent of each other. Of
course, do not forget that even though all this seems to happen, there is no creation!
The one infinite consciousness alone is thought-form or experience: there is no
cause and effect relationship. These (‘cause’ and ‘effect’) are only words, not facts.
The infinite consciousness is forever in infinite consciousness.

O Goddess, your words are truly enlightening. However, since I have never been
exposed to them before, the wisdom is not well grounded. I wish to see the original
house of the holy Vasistha.
SARASVATI said:
O Lila, give up this form of yours and attain the pure spiritual insight. For only
Brahman can really see or realize Brahman. My body is made of pure light, pure
consciousness. Your body is not. With this body of yours you cannot even visit the
places of your own imagination, then how can you enter the field of another’s
imagination? But if you attain the body of light, you will immediately seethe holy
man’s house. Affirm to yourself, “I shall leave my body here and take a body of light.
With that body, like the scent of incense I shall go to the house of the holy man.” Even
as water mixes with water you will become one with the field of consciousness.
By the persistent practice of such meditation, even your body will become one of pure
consciousness and subtle. For, I see even my body as consciousness .you do not, for
you see the world of matter. Such ignorance arises of its own accord, but is dispelled by
wisdom and enquiry. In fact such ignorance does not even exist! There is neither
unwisdom, nor ignorance; neither bondage, nor liberation. There is but one pure
consciousness.
SARASVATI said:
Dear Lila, in dream, the dream-body appears to be real; but when there is an awakening
to the fact of dream, the reality of that body vanishes. Even so, the physical body which
is sustained by memory and latent tendencies is seen to be unreal. At the end of the
dream, you become aware of the physical body; at the end of these tendencies, you
