Consciousness is the greatest asset in human life; it is consciousness alone that leads one to realization unto self and the supreme. It is a light that keeps spirit awake even in the dark of delusion.
If one wishes to define the omnipresent in short that is supreme consciousness. Consciousness has different steps that lead one to a stage for interface with the supreme one.
In the conscious state one can perceive the truth unto self and the supreme. Indeed it is a pristine feature of spirit but under the influence of Maya, this feature disappears in the light of delusion.
True saints impart this feature to the true followers and devotees to make them realize unto essential truth of being self on the cord of life for ultimate welfare.
May lord bless all.
