6.6 Become absorbed in the base consisting of neither perception nor non-perception.

Leaving behind perceptions of nothingness, become aware of neither perception nor non-perception. Reality known through the senses is not different from transcendental, trans-sensual being. This and that are ever one and indistinguishable; God is the world.

From the relative point of view, this is undoubtedly tangible and real. From the absolute point of view, conditioned existence has only relative and illusory reality. From the perspective of the fully enlightened person, either or both of these points of view can be experienced as true.

This understood and experienced as that is absolutely real. The world understood and experienced as the will of God is absolutely real. The universe is real if perceived as Brahman. The Samsara is real if experienced as Nirvana.

The illusory temporal, conditioned reality is real if understood and directly experienced as the manifest form of absolute, unconditioned reality. Fully enlightened, serene and clear, this is known to you in its true nature as the moment-by-moment expression of the infinite harmony of that. There is no distinction possible between God and the world –  they are one and the same.

Fully enlightened, knowing through experience both the relative and absolute nature of conditioned existence, understanding the unity of the relative and the absolute, you live now as a conscious part of the universal purpose. Great in yourself, one with that and one with this, live your life without individual and self-willed purpose, fulfilling the karma of your body with humble acceptance. Knowing the divine nature of ordinary everyday life, go as karma bids you to teach the suffering and unenlightened the nature of reality, according to your gifts.
