Swami Krishnananda Saraswati Quotes about Consciousness

All God(6)World(6)Consciousness(4)Knowledge(3)Truth(3)Body(3)

That higher awakening is called God-consciousness. In that condition, you will see that all the objects of the world are your own universal self.
Swami Krishnananda Saraswati

The teaching of the Yoga-Vasishtha emphasises that when there is perception of an object by the seer or observer, there has to be pre-supposed the existence of a consciousness between the subject and the object. If this conscious connecting link were not to be, there would be no perception of existence. There cannot be a consciousness of relation between two things unless there is a consciousness relating the two terms and yet standing above them. The study of the perceptional situation discloses the fact that the subject and the object are phases of a universal consciousness.

He who knows, knows not; he who knows not, knows. This is a statement in the Upanishad, meaning that one who has realised the Truth has no personality-consciousness, and one who has it knows not the Truth.

The more one becomes fit for the practice of Advaita Vedanta, the less is the consciousness of the body and world around. Advaita and body-consciousness do not go together.
