one is the vast space itself

Photograph by Jerry Katz

 

If, in any painting or photograph, a person is depicted as very small within a wide space of nature, there is a possibility that the viewer will recognize that small form as one’s self and that this self is not separate from the vast space.

That is to say, such a picture may inspire the realization that one is the vast space itself.

When it is recognized that the vast space contains the form and that one is both the vast space and the form — at the same time — this is a realization of nonduality.
