10. BECOMING CONSCIOUS OF OUR CONSCIOUSNESS
How can we live with Consciousness? What is the way of becoming conscious? The simplest method is silence, to shut off all our senses and our mind and become aware of the presence of life energy within us.
We must be still to experience Consciousness. We must enjoy the Peace that it brings. Then, slowly, when Consciousness becomes a part of our life, we can become conscious of our Consciousness. What does this mean? We will become aware every time our Consciousness loses the war to thoughts and actions. We have lost the state of being conscious and we must regain that state of awareness.
Very few people are blessed to become conscious of their Consciousness. They realize that we cannot become aware of our Consciousness, because in Consciousness we become aware of everything else. When we become conscious of our Consciousness – we become Consciousness. Therefore, Consciousness itself is a state of being. We experience a state of Consciousness and this is called Chit. We don't need a way to be aware of our Consciousness. It is just like asking, 'Which torch is needed to see the Sun?' Do we need any light or torch to see the Sun? No. Sun itself is the light. So is our Consciousness.
