(In response to a question: what is the difference between Consciousness and Spirit?)
When you are working, that is when you are trying to infuse consciousness into yourself, along with your consciousness, naturally a few thoughts will be there. The time when you work is called Consciousness. When you have achieved, it is called Spirit. Let me give you this small example: Consciousness is like 18 carat gold while spirit is like 24 carat gold. If you don't have any doubt, you can be sure you have achieved the Spirit. The work is over. If you are having doubts and still working, it is Consciousness. Consciousness is the path and Spirit is the realization. In a way you can say that the superconsciousness is the Spirit. Consciousness is your moving on the path.
