Different types of realities
Question : How can one be aware of realities?
Answer : There is seeing now. It can be realized that it is a reality
which experiences visible object, just for a moment. It is not self which
sees, seeing sees. You don’t have to do anything special in order to see,
when there are conditions for seeing you can’t help seeing. Is seeing
permanent? You cannot go on seeing. When there is hearing there is
another reality, there can’t be seeing at the same time. There can be
study of one reality at a time as it appears. When there are the right
conditions there can be direct understanding of mental phenomenon as
only a reality and of a physical phenomenon as only a reality. These can
be realized as different types of realities. We should not wish for
awareness, we should always remember that the goal is right
understanding of realities. Whenever there is awareness of one reality
which appears there can be direct understanding of it and thus
understanding can grow.
