Undivided Life...
The soul always remains untarnished, but it is only when the mind is a clean mirror that it can reflect the Truth. When the impressions of good & bad both disappear, the mind sees the soul. This is illumination. The mind seeing the soul, however, is not the same as the soul knowing itself; for the soul is not the mind, BUT GOD, who is beyond the mind. Therefore, even after the mind has seen the soul, it has to be merged in the soul if the soul is to know itself in Truth. This is Realization. In this state, the mind with its good & bad impressions has disappeared. It is beyond the mind, and beyond good & evil. From this point of view and this state, there is only one indivisible existence characterized by love, peace, bliss and knowledge. The strife between good & evil has disappeared because there is neither good nor evil, only the one undivided life of God.
