That (consciousness) appears distant because it cannot be grasped by the senses (anakṣalabhya), yet it is not distant because its nature is pure consciousness (citrūpa). Indeed, that very (consciousness) is vast like a mountain (śaila) because of its all-encompassing awareness (sarvasaṃvedana), while at the same time, it truly is subtle (aṇu) by its very existence (san).
