Can reality be known?


"Can the dagger stab itself? Can the hand grasp itself? Can the ocean dive into itself? Can the eye see itself? Can the tongue taste itself? Can the flower smell its own perfume? Can the mirror reflect itself?" ~Jnaneshvara

Nondual awareness or "this" is an experience in which there is no separation between subject and object and so it cannot be understood by the mind.
