Consciousness (contd.)
"Consciousness is Everything". Everything manifest from consciousness. Unless a person is consciously aware of he/she will not cognize anything. An unconscious person cannot know anything! We are all unconscious and we do not know anything (about our own existence?). 'To know' is 'to cognize' and 'to cognize' is to be conscious. However cognition depends on focused attention. we can focus attention on only one thing at a time; so, we are deprived of the totality- the totality of our existence. We are deprived of our totality of experience. We live piece by piece everyday! We are bound by limitations, limitations of time (kaala), space (desha) and causation (karya-karana). This limitation is ma ya (that can be measured), What was once immeasurable, mahat has no become limited, individualized consciousness. Thus our consciousness is limited and our senses, mind, intellect are all limited. However, nothing prevents us from reverting to our state of mahat, vast, unlimited, If we drop what all we have acquired from the day one we entered the earth as a Hydrogen particle, a stellar dust particle, we can become that pure consciousness and overcome all limitations. This is called "Shiva only becoming jiva and jagat" as creation and in return journey- "jiva becoming Shiva" as dissolution. Rather, Shiva takes a tour of the Planet Earth using different forms of jiva as vehicles of journey and experiences His creation. Once His job is over He takes to Meditation (Being aware of himself) and reverts to His true nature SHIVA. Thus the jiva is used as a Taxi for His journey on this earth as a jiva-NARA YANA.
