experienced (object). The Absolute is a non-dual

state, so who is to experience what? Moreover, the

Absolute, does not require any experience or the

understanding of what I am expounding

to you; I am talking about the seed of

‘Brahman’ or ‘I am’ that I am planting in

very keen on imparting his knowledge to him, and

this itself is the initiation. His teaching is very

the ‘Brahman’, he calls it the planting of the

‘Brahma seed’ in you. It is just like on seeing or

coming across something desirable - you want it

appropriate conditions prevailing, you will go to

any lengths to bring it to fruition.
