that so do check that out that's uh with the say it has named so do uh check it out and go through the whole i mean in fact prior to that i have another i must have at least about three mind trap uh dialogues entirely on ibn rupee and more to come more to come so do check them out and we go through all of this kind of and the complexities of of all of this obviously these things are difficult to understand
you see you have no frame of reference for them so it's hard to explain to people without a frame of reference because you can't help but frame it to whatever frame of reference you have and reason here the only way you could reason can accommodate is if you have some experience maybe if you are a person who walks the path but otherwise you can't identify because it doesn't appear logical it's a bit like quantum physics when by it doesn't it's not really logical in
that sense so these things like that understanding concepts of non-duality you have to i think it's difficult to explain because i can't say to you of non-separation of yet still separation the concept of observer and observed it doesn't make sense because the only then you'll you'll think it's god but it's not necessary it's not god in these understandings so it's hard to explain because you've not ever understood anything like that so what are you going to refer it to in your mind and believe me your mind is not
that capable i can assure you okay no need to try that hard you ain't going to be able to do it you know you won't be able to this is something it doesn't matter how intelligent you are this is not an issue of intelligence this is a matter of relatability and of comprehension based on some actual um like experiential comprehension which can't really be exp it can't be just understood it can only be experienced
so yeah i hope that makes sense so don't you this is why i don't like people this this topic being argued or debated or because it's a silly concept it doesn't really make sense okay it's a bit like dividing by zero you see if you divide by zero what do you have it's that's it's mad isn't it it's incalculable it's not infinity it's not it's just malfunction
this is why einstein said that black holes are where god divided by zero now it's such a simple thing i say to you divide by zero it sounds so simple and yet the answer is bizarre so that's how these things are so when you want to understand them refer back to these simple things like mathematics that think of the other you know the mathematic that things like this because they will then remind you how you know what they'll humble you like if i told you that in mathematics if you
added every number 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 and you did this and you could do this to infinity and you could add every number do you know what the answer would be and it the answer would be minus 1 12. that's true and it's actually stood up in and this is it's tested it's not just now you would you be able to get your head around that so and and when you try to you can go and you can learn you can google you can youtube you're going to find the answer
exactly this is the answer but you're going to watch them explain it to you and you're still going to feel stupid don't worry it happens to the best of us and you try and understanding you still feel stupid then you realize this is not the this is not the place for us man we have to humble ourselves trying to understand non-duality trying to understand infinity in experience trying to understand you can't do these things so that's my advice to people who want to
understand first of all understand why and how like actually not just learn try to understand things like this like adding this component if you added every sequence of number to infinity why does it equal minus 1 12 understand that understand it and not just wrote repeat it and if you can understand it you're one step closer to understanding then understand like division by zero and how things like this work and understand these mathematical
um you know these kind of uh not paradoxes but just conundrums understand them and then you you're a step closer and you keep going and then you'll get the don't don't hasten don't feel that you can simply grasp metaphysics like that so easily you can't even grasp astrophysics can't even grasp physics you can't even grasp mathematics
so these are something very don't worry once you've done that then you see mata is beyond so once you've done that with all these physics and all this then metaphysics so cool
