Self is the center of the whole creation

Chapter 9 - Eliminating The Cause Of Pain 

Day 73

The Self, though it is ever pure and unstained, is just a witness. However, when it becomes one with the buddhi, the intellect, then it gets coloured. It seems coloured. It seems just like somebody who, stuck in their own intellect, continues to be with their thoughts and ideas, as though they are their own. 

They suffer a lot as a result of this. The Self is the center of the whole creation. Though this world does not exist for the one who is realized and enlightened the way it does for the enlightened, it continues to exist with its opposites. There is no more suffering for the one who is awakened in knowledge. 

The world appears completely different and all of this creation is filled with bliss, or part of the Self. But, for the others, it exists as they see it. So, you may not be considering this world separate from your Self, but as a part of your Self. It does not exists for you, but for others it does exist. 

It is just like you’re leaving a plane or a bus after journey. For you the journey is over. But the plane or bus keeps going on. They need to takes others onwards. The bus does not stop just because your journey is over.
