Question : There is one Original Consciousness. Are there many sattva guna mirrors, reflecting Original Consciousness into “I Am”/Reflected Consciousness/Chidabhasa?
Prabhuji : Ishvara is reflected in pure Satva, individual bodies have individual intellect reflecting chidabhasa.
Question :In my Reflected Consciousness many bodies appear. One I call mine and all others “not mine”. Similarly in other’s Reflected Consciousness many bodies appear, including mine. Do all Reflected Consciousness overlap and share the same world and consciousness?
Prabhuji : From absolute point of view, there are no others. From Jiva point of view there is objective experience common to all jivas eg …sky, sun, moon etc. This common experience is due to Universal consciousness operating through all and individual experience is due to identification with ego.
Question :If we both see the same object. Does the object available in my Reflected Consciousness different from object appearing in your Reflected Consciousness or same object is shared in both Reflected Consciousness?
Prabhuji : Common perception of sky etc is due to universal consciousness operating through all. Individual experience happiness, sadness is due to ego.
Question: But thoughts, feelings, sensations, and emotions are not shared between individuals. Here too universal consciousness operates through all. “Common experience is due to Universal consciousness operating through all” and “individual experience is due to identification with ego”?
Prabhuji: Individual is always powered by universal.
