Now in terms of the actual practice, when one is immersed in the contemplation
of the clear light, since all dualistic appearances vanish, it becomes
impossible to distinguish the object from the consciousness perceiving it.
They seem to become as if they were one, like water mixed with water. Of
course, strictly speaking, there are two entities, subject and object, but
within the experience of the clear light this duality is lost.
