The finite mind can only know a limited object–something with limited, objective qualities, such as a thought, feeling, sensation or perception–even though it is itself made out of unlimited awareness. The mind cannot even think of awareness, for awareness has no objectives qualities and the mind can only think of something objective. If the mind tries to think of awareness, it will either imagine a blank, empty object or state or, faced with the impossibility of the task, come to an end.
