54. The wisdom which is born of discernment is starlike; it discerns all things, and all conditions of things, it discerns without succession: simultaneously. SUTRA FIFTY FOUR THE WISDOM WHICH IS BORN OF DISCERNMENT IS STAR LIKE IT DISCERNS ALL THINGS AND ALL CONDITIONS OF THINGS IT DISCERNS WITHOUT SUCCESSION SIMULTANEOUSLY
e no longer sees life as projected into past, present and future, since these are forms of the mind; but beholds all things spread out in the quiet light of the Eternal. This would seem to be the same thought, and to point to that clear-eyed spiritual perception which is above time; that wisdom born of the unveiling of Time’s delusion. Then shall the disciple live neither in the present nor the future, but in the Eternal. 53. Hence comes discernment between things which are of like nature, not distinguished by difference of kind, character or position. Here, as also in the preceding Sutra, we are close to the doctrine that distinctions of order, time and space are creations of the mind; the threefold prism through which the real object appears to us distorted and refracted. When the prism is withdrawn, the object returns to its primal unity, no longer distinguishable by the mind, yet clearly knowable by that high power of spiritual discernment, of illumination, which is above the mind.  OF TIME HE NO LONGER SEES LIFE AS PROJECTED INTO PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE SINCE THESE ARE FORMS OF THE MIND BUT BEHOLDS ALL THINGS SPREAD OUT IN THE QUIET LIGHT OF THE ETERAL THIS WOULD SEEM TO BE THE SAME THOUGHT AND TO POINT TO THAT CLEAR EYED SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION WHICH IS ABOVE TIME THAT WISDOM BORN OF THE UNVEILING OF TIME'S DELUSION THEN SHALL THE DISCIPLE LIVE NEITHER IN THE PRESENT NOR THE FUTURE BUT IN THE ETERNAL SUTRA FIFTY THREE HENCE COMES DISCERNMENT BETWEEN THINGS WHICH ARE OF LIKE NATURE NOT DISTINGUISHED BY DIFFERENCE OF KIND CHARACTER OR POSITION HERE AS ALSO IN THE PRECEDING SUTRA WE ARE CLOSE TO THE DOCTRINE THAT DISTINCTIONS OF ORDER TIME AND SPACE ARE CREATIONS OF THE MIND THE THREEFOLD PRISM THROUGH WHICH THE REAL OBJECT APPEARS TO US DISTORTED AND REFRACTED WHEN THE PRISM IS WITHDRAWN THE OBJECT RETURNS TO ITS PRIMAL UNITY NO LONGER DISTINGUISHABLE BY THE MIND YET CLEARLY KNOWABLE BY THAT HIGH POWER OF SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT OF ILLUMINATION WHICH IS ABOVE THE MIND
