Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage.

With which part do you watch? Surely with the mind? That won't do. It is the silent Purusha within who must watch all.

Fear not to be nothing that thou mayst be all.

What the soul sees and has experienced, that it knows; the rest is appearance, prejudice and opinion.

Sit in meditation ! But do not think ! Look only at your mind ! You will see thoughts coming into it ! Before they can enter, throw these away from your mind till your mind is capable of entire silence.

Live within; be not shaken by outward happenings.

Not in the state of unconsciousness, but in full awareness when the higher Power will descend into and direct us, then only the yogic life will begin.
