The phenomenal world is nothing but pure consciousness with names and forms; projected though and perceived by our 'Body-Mind-Intellect-Complex', and five sense organs (Eyes,Ears,Nose,Skin and Tongue), through five primal elements (Ether,Air,Water,Fire and Earth). 'Ego' arises from 'SELF' or pure consciousness which in turn creates the phenomenal world of names and forms through 'Words' by 'Mind'; but 'Words', 'Names' and 'Forms' are inseparable. Mind is a conglomeration of thought constructs, created and sustained by 'Words'; and a mind without 'Words' is 'No-Mind' or pure consciousness; the substratum for all other three states-wakeful dream and deep sleep. As we know 'GOD', 'GURU', 'SELF' or 'BRAHMAN' is nothing but pure consciousness; and awareness of consciousness, through the 'EYE' of consciousness (Prathyabhinjna-Insight) is 'Self-Realization', 'Sahaja-Samadhi' and 'Liberation-in-Life'.
Mind Watch - the illustrated practical guide is meant for the seekers of 'Self-Realization', 'Sahaja Samadhi' and 'Liberation-in-Life', who want to render their mind thoughtless. When the 'Mind' is rendered 'Wordless' (Thoughtless- without names and forms) that results in 'Worldlessness' or non-perception of the phenomenal world. Then the self-effulgent, pure consciousness-the substratum for the phenomenal world-shines forth in all its innate glory as 'Truth-Being-Existence-Consciousness and Bliss'.
In other words; 'Words', through threefold division (Thriputi) of infinite pure consciousness as the perceiver-perceived and perception, create the finite phenomenal world, by 'Body-Mind-Intellect complex' and five sense organs. When words (Names and Forms) are removed from our consciousness; through Self-Inquiry (Who am I?), once again our finite phenomenal consciousness becomes infinite pure consciousness or 'Brahman', resulting in 'Self-Realization', 'Sahaja-Samadhi', and 'Liberation-in-Life'.
'Mind-Watch' is meant for constant 'Introspective contemplation'-Who am I?- 'BY' you, 'OF' you and 'WITHIN' you; which may result in spontaneous 'Self-Awareness', 'Sahaja Samadhi' and 'Liberation-in-Life'. Let 'Mind-Watch' shower blessings of divine grace and 'Glimpses of Self-Realization' upon each and everyone who goes through this book.
