The seer is the witness, and only the witness is the truth. All else is a dream. And there are worldly-dreams and there are otherworldly dreams; there are materialistic dreams and there are spiritualistic dreams. One thing has to be remembered always, that whatsoever is seen is worthless – even if it is God. The God that is seen is worthless.
When all experiences disappear and you are left utterly alone, nothing to see, only emptiness in the hands, no experience at all, then suddenly you realize yourself. Then you turn upon yourself, then you fall into your source. And that is not an experience, it is realization. That is the difference between the words experience and realization. It is not that you have seen something or experienced something. Now you know who you are.
