(4:00) Life as Consciousness is the sentiency manifested in forms and it comes, first of all, as our subjectivity, yet in the infinite Absolute Consciousness (sk, Cit) there is no subjectivity as it is the non-polar consciousness. You can’t find any partition there, any distinction, any differentiation between a pole which would be subjectivity and a pole which would be objectivity, it is absolutely not there. That undifferentiated Consciousness can also be realized while in the waking state and that is called the Natural State.
