Experience. Chapter 4.

Experience
In one’s experience
strictly so called
there is neither thought
nor external object present.
It is the state in which all alone
one abides in One’s Self.

Objects of perception
being believed
to be the cause of experience,
tempt the ignorant.

If strictly viewed,
it can be seen
that there is nothing like
cause and effect.

Even if they are conceded,
effect will never exist independently of cause.
It is admitted on all hands
that the cause will be seen
in the effect.

But no such cause appears in one’s experience.
It follows then that experience has no cause.

If it has no cause why this hunt for objects?
All that is needed is only the merger of thoughts.

Always contemplating
the nature of experience itself,
will bring about this merger.

The intense thought
that one is
neither doer 
nor enjoyer
will also bring
the same result.

If one can see
that thought as such
is really non-existent
or that it is nothing other
than Consciousness,
this is the best means.
