The consciousness within purged of the mind is felt as God.
Personal note on this: When your consciousness has been permanently purged of the mind, you permanently and effortlessly feel God as YOU. That is called sahaja samadhi or what I call the "Dance of Shiva". Now don't let the ego twist this TRUTH by thinking that since you are God, you are superior to everything else when in fact, all of creation is God. Therefore, there is no one or thing superior or inferior to anyone or anything else. All of creation is EQUAL. EQUALITY EVERYWHERE.
