Document Summary
How can you say what"s internal and what"s external? (atman) #6 now he in all beings just look in the self. Atman, but see him contained then you are slaying atman, we can"t receive atman with our mind and our senses, if we rely on our senses we are slaying atman. We see the individual things not the whole parts. If all blind people are holding different parts of an elephant, they describe the part but not the whole. We see only parts of atman, and we take it as reality. We need to see the unity not with our senses. We can"t have knowledge in the normal sense of atman. Other indeed they say there"s knowledge, other say then non knowledge. With conjointly knows we think of knowledge but you can have both. Knowledge of god seems like a cloud because this is not conceptual knowledge. You can use it to express it to them.
