"But at other times when you say I exist, you are heading towards the perception of a non-state,
which is neither of the body nor of the mind.
This non-state is being, it is indeterminable, cannot be located mentally or physically.
It is neither a thought nor a feeling.
This non-state is identical to that of your surroundings.
You are of the very same essence.
In this non-state there are no surroundings.
If there is another, that is, if there are surroundings, there is an I, and vice-versa.
"Our surroundings are not contained by name and form.
You are neither the body nor the mind, these are limits you identify with through a lack of clear-sightedness.
When you are attentive to a tree or flower, the perception, shape, name and concept are not the only things present.
There is also the All-presence that you share with them and that you are both part of.
The very name and form spring forth from this eternal background, the All-presence.
This is instantaneous awareness that cannot be reached by thought."
"I am in you and I am you.
No one can understand this
until he has lost his mind."
~ Rumi
