The Nature of the Mind : 6

Brahman will not shine when the dualities of the mind are not destroyed. Destroy the dualities. Brahman will shine in its pristine glory.
It is impossible to have the vision of Brahman as long as there is faith in dual existence.

The Light of the Self cannot be seen by one who is fast bound to plural and dual life.

Even intellectual life cannot make one behold the glorious Brahman, for the intellect functions only on a dual basis.

The intellect cannot work with a feeling of total Unity, for thereby, it is trying to arrive at self-destruction.

What is inclusive of the cogniser himself cannot be seen by the cognising subject.

It would be just like attempting to climb on one's own shoulders.

 Every method of cognition requires a process of knowing besides the knower and the known.

The intellect itself is one of the senses through which the internal psychic organ manifests itself. The fact that intellectuality is excluded from immorality does not refrain it from its being included among the organs of perception.
