The Student asked the Teacher to explain the mind.  "Some say the mind is one, and there is only one mind. What do you say venerable Teacher?"

Here is your answer. This kind of thinking is reflected thinking, but something is missing from it. Let us use a feeling sense to discover the truth. And on the path of feeling we can feel it is both true and untrue. So now let us follow the paths of the light to represent for us the One Mind, as the same as the One Light of Sun.  Consider how Light and Warmth can be  separated in the Cosmic Bodies of the Sun and the Moon and this affects the natures of all living bodies. This is the way to understand light and warmth and unravel this great riddle of the One Mind. 

 If we follow the light through the world, we see how a plant grows from two kinds of light, the light of the moon, which is the Sun-light. So we can say like this, the light is one light, but we also know from the growth of the life in the plant these lead to a different result. And if we take this into the inner being one can clearly see that the light may indeed be one light, but it has been separated into warmth and light, and just light as in the reflected light of the moon.  So we can say there is indeed One Light, the light of the Sun, and that is even to the Light of the Moon, but the Light at the Source is warm, and the light of the Moon is cold and separated from it is the element of the warmth, so the mind too has elements that it must consider that have conditioned it.  

And so the One Mind must consider its reflections as these have been separated into soul and life. Eventually all reflections go back to the source from which they have come, and so the many minds travel back to the one mind and are refreshed, revitalized, as they rest in the bosom of Divine Light and Love.
