The Zen of Advaita - Stephen H. Wolinsky Ph. D.

The abstracted path is areflection in the mirror. As themirror stops its reflection, theemptiness, which is the objectbeing reflected, is realized.The mirror shows a reflection ofa past, present and future whichis always a reflection of theconsciousness-emptiness, (theother side of the holographicpuzzle).The reflection (person),like the emptiness needs nowork, polishing, purification,or discarding. Spiritual pathsare reflections in the mirrorwhose reflected object is theconsciousness-emptiness.Enquiry Koan: “What is it that hasno function, no ability to change,and yet appears to be functioningand changing?”Buddha, “Nirvana is Samsara,Samsara is Nirvana.”“Emptiness is form, form isemptiness” are descriptions of twosides of the mirror (coin).Each side reflects the other.You are both and neither.97
