WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING REALITY, THE MIND CANNOT BE SEEN
If there is no understanding, you cannot watch the mind because the mind is not solid – it has no shape or color.
Actually all reality has no shape, form or color. The conceptual object is obvious because it has a place, shape and form.
Reality is not obvious – it is not solid; just coming and going; that we call nature. For example, when you understand the meaning of object – being known – this is an understanding. Knowing is mind and being known is object – do you understand this meaning?
Can you see the object? Being known cannot be seen. You can only understand – that we call nature. Paramatha is like this; it is neither solid nor clear. It can only be understood because we can only understand nature.
