Which brings me to the word, "ignorance", a word which many seekers don't like. At first I thought, why "ignorance", a verb form, the act of "ignoring"? Who is ignoring what? Is the small seeker willfully ignoring him or her self? Then I thought, "no, not really, because little seekers don't really exist, so how can something which is (almost) wholly an illusion, ignore itself?". Then I thought,"Of course, it is Brahman ignoring itself. Purely for the joy of rediscovering itself through the little seeker, who will then metamorphize into Brahman. To enjoy its Awakening all over again!". That finally made sense to me (and was a whole lot more fun!). So Brahman through concentrating a bindu point (though not very precisely, possibly because of the attachment of karma) into human form (for purposes of brevity, I'll not list the innumerable ignorant life forms here), and then further concentrating THAT, awakens into the oneness of Brahman, and in so doing, extinguishes the small seeker. Bye, bye! Hello!:-)
