Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Thank you for all the replies. I really appreciate it. And I feel the same way. The quote makes no sense. But I did find another more specific quote from someone speaking about absolute and relative under the subject of nonduality. One which might make more sense. Altho I'm still not sure what they mean by it. If anyone thinks they know or understand it, feel free to share, please.
"So there is no real time for something to become. There is no real time for there to be any real object out there. The whole thing collapses into what appears, which is neither real nor unreal. It is the absolute appearing relative. The absolute relativing. And that can't be understood."

Maybe it makes more sense when someone says, "The absolute appearing relative."

Thank you for giving this example. I almost forgot about it.
It reminds me of the popular gold and necklace statement aswell.
If the necklace is gold then gold is not necasserily a necklace.
Thank you for coming back I guess.

Let's give it a try. In non duality time is illusory. What Is doesn't become. What Is doesn't change. There is only an appearance of change within infinite timeless being.
There is no subject and object. There is only an appearance of objects within the undivided oneness of being. The world that appears is like an expression of absolute being as separate objects, allowing a sense of relativity. So I and the world appear separate but it is only an appearance of separation.
'The absolute relativing' then means What Is, Consciousness, Infinite Oneness, the Absolute, giving the appearance of separate objects.

Another way to say that is the infinite appearing as the finite. An important takeaway is mind is finite and the finite cannot comprehend the infinite. Mind is the veil, hence all the practices to quiet mind. This is not a satisfying situation for mind as it wants to know the unknowable. |
