For as the one sun shining in the heavens is reflected, often in distorted images, in multitudes of vessels filled with water, so the one self is present in all human minds. FOR AS THE ONE SUN SHINING IN THE HEAVENS IS REFLECTED OFTEN IN DISORDER IMAGES IN MULTITUDES OF VEZZLES FILLED WITH WATER SO THE ONESELF IS PRESENT IN ALL HUMAN MINDS
ws God becomes God." "When He, the first and last, is discerned, one's own acts are annihilated." Meditation, without distinction of subject and object, is the highest form of thought. It is a high attainment to say, "I am God;" but the consummation is when thought exists without an object. There are four states of the soul--waking, dreaming, dreamless sleep, and the "fourth state," or pure intelligence. The working-man is in dense ignorance; in sleep he is freed from part of this ignorance; in dreamless sleep he is freed from still more; but the consummation is when he attains something beyond this, which it seems cannot be explained, and is therefore called the fourth state. [Sidenote: Doctrine of "the Self." Inconsistent statements.] The name, which in later writings is most frequently given to the "one without a second,"[16] is Atman, which properly means self. Much is said of the way in which the self in each man is to recover, or discover, its unity with the supreme or real self. L THINK ITSELF DIFFERENT FROM GOD AND IT ALSO PROJECTS THE APPEARANCE OF AN EXTERNAL WORLD HE WHO KNOWS GOD BECOMES GOD WHEN HE THE FIRST AND LAST IS DISCERNED ONE'S OWN ACTS ARE ANNIHILATED MEDITATION WITHOUT DISTINCTION OF SUBJECT AND OBJECT IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF THOUGHT IT IS A HIGH ATTAINMENT TO SAY I AM GOD BUT THE CONSUMATION IS WHEN THE THOUGHT EXISTS WITHOUT AN OBJECT THERE ARE FOUR STATES OF THE SOUL WAKING DREAMING DREAMLESS SLEEP AND THE FOURTH STATE OF PURE INTELLIGENCE THE WORKING MAN IS IN DENSE IGNORANCE IN SLEEP HE IS FREED FROM PART OF THIS IGNORANCE IN DREAMLESS SLEEP HE IS FREE FROM STILL MORE BUT THE CONSUMMATION IS WHEN HE ATTAINS SOMETHING BEYOND THIS WHICH IT SEEMS CANNOT BE EXPLAINED AND IS THEREFORE CALLED THE FOURTH STATE THE NAME WHICH IN LATER WRITINGS IS MOST FREQUENTLY GIVEN TO THE ONE WITHOUT A SECOND IS ATHMAN WHICH PROPERLY MEANS SELF MUCH IS SAID OF THE WAY IN WHICH THE SELF IN EACH MAN IS TO RECOVER OR DISCOVER ITS UNITY WITH THE SUPREME OR REAL SELF
