The mind can only work with some name or form or image. If you give this up the mind will be helpless.
---------------- Nisargadatta (p. 110-111, Prior to Consciousness)
The same name or form or image is based on an imputation the mind makes. When sensing the object (image or form), the mind reflects the name (imputation). The imputation can neither be found to exist, nor can it be separate from the form.
a. “The cup is not separate from the form”
b. “Form is not separate from seeing”
c. “Seeing is not separate from witnessing awareness”
