In the Mating Time of Blue Dragonflies

Maybe this is the carp that ate the mating blue dragonflies.
You have brought in duality where there is none. There is the body and there is the Self. Between them is the mind, in which the Self is reflected as "I am." Because of the imperfections of the mind, its crudity and restlessness, lack of discernment and insight, it takes itself to be the body, not the Self. All that is needed is to purify the mind so that it can realize its identity with the Self. When the mind merges in the Self, the body presents no problems. It remains what it is, an instrument of cognition and action, the tool and the expression of the creative fire within: the ultimate value of the body is that it serves to discover the cosmic body, which is the universe in its entirety. As you realize yourself in manifestation, you keep on discovering that you are ever more than what you had imagined. As there is no beginning, there is no end. But what I have discovered by the grace of my Guru is: I am nothing that can be pointed at. I am neither a "this" nor a "that."-Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
