Background
A description of the experience
Kaushitaki Upanishad
…. there is something greater than the breath of life
For one can live without speech, we can see the dumb
One can live without sight, we can see the blind
One can live without hearing, we can see the deaf
One can live without a right mind; we can see those who are mad
But it is the consciousness of life which becomes the breath of life and gives life to a body
The breath of life is the consciousness of life and the consciousness of life is the breath of life
When consciousness rules speech, with speech we can speak all words
When consciousness rules breath, with breath we can smell all perfumes
When consciousness rules the eye, with the eye we can see all forms
When consciousness rules the ear, with the ear we can hear all sounds
When consciousness rules the tongue, with the tongue we can savour all tastes
When consciousness rule the mind, with the mind we can think all thoughts
