From the pure mass of consciousness-reality, does anything distinct exist?

Cid-ghana—a compact mass of consciousness—returns to the ghanatva (solidity) mentioned earlier. Śuddha-sattā: pure existence, unmingled with asat (non-being), unstained by māyā. Vyatirikta: distinct, separate, other. The rhetorical question assumes a negative answer: there is nothing separate, but the interrogative formulation invites the sādhaka to verify this for themselves. It is not dogma; it is an invitation to sākṣātkāra, direct realization.

Our everyday experience seems to contradict this: I feel my body is distinct from your body, that this table is different from that chair. But analytical discernment (viveka) breaks this down: where does the difference lie? In form (rūpa), which changes. In name (nāma), which is convention. In function, which is relative. None of this touches sattā, the existence which upholds form, name, and function. That sattā is śuddha (pure), one, cid-ghanatā (consciousness-solidity). The sādhaka who meditates on this experiences sāmya, equanimity: not because they have decided to be equanimous, but because they see there are not two things between which to choose.
