FORTY VERSES ON REALITY 22. The Divine gives light to the mind and shines within it. Except by turning the mind inward and fixing it in the Divine, there is no other way to know Him through the mind. 23. The body does not say I. No one will argue that even in deep sleep the I ceases to exist. Once the I emerges, all else emerges. With a keen mind enquire whence this I emerges. 24. This inert body does not say I. Reality-Consciousness does not emerge. Between the two, and limited to the measure of the body, something emerges as I. It is this that is known as Chit-jada-granthi (the knot between the Conscious and the inert), and also as bondage, soul, subtle-body, ego, samsara, mind, and so forth. 25. It. comes into being equipped with a form, and as long as it retains a form it endures. Having a form, it feeds and grows big. But if you investigate it this evil spirit, which has no form of its own, relinquishes its grip on form and takes to flight.
