In the waking state, sound, touch etc. known substances are different due to variety. But their awareness/knowledge always remains separate from them. Since it is always uniform, the awareness never undergoes any change.
The intake of objects through senses is called "waking". In that state called waking, objects that we call "known" such as sound, touch and so on, as well as their refuge, the elements such as space and so on, all of these appear distinct from each other.
But, the awareness of that sound etc. (which is separated from them using the intellect), is uniform. It is seen that awareness of, awareness of - this is uniform. Since this is the case, this awareness does not become distinct, like space. In other words, due to its very nature, awareness does not have any differences within it.
This is because, without the description or presence of adjuncts, there is no possibility of differences within it, similar to the condition of space. In the awareness of sound, there is no inherent difference from the awareness of space, because "awareness" is the same in both of them. The difference that appears to manifest in them is only a difference of adjunct. In that regard, so-called differences in space such as pot space, room space etc. are seen in space. But they are not real or true differences.
Just as space is not differentiated due to differences in adjuncts, awareness is not divided, or does not get partitioned, due to differences in adjuncts.
