Sri, Sankara said: world is unreal. He
never said body is unreal. He would have said only birth and death is unreal
but he did not say that, he said the world is unreal. He meant
the world including the body, because the body and world appear together
and disappear together (waking or dream).
Then we have to think, what remain without the body and the world as
reality. How can the birth, life, death, rebirth, and reincarnation, which take
place in unreal world (waking or dream), can be true. The one, which is aware of the birth, life
death, rebirth and reincarnation (illusion/unreal), is formless reality, which
is the true self/true identity. The
formless self is your true identity, which is birthless and deathless but it is
the witness of the birth, life and death and rebirth (illusion/unreal).
On the standpoint of identity the birth, life,
death, rebirth and reincarnation theory is part of the illusion/unreal. The body cannot reincarnate, the body and the
world are created out of the same formless stuff. Until one views and judges on
the base of flesh, bone and blood (five elements), he will not be able to grasp
the non-dual truth. Thus, one must know
on what standpoint we are not born and we do not die thoroughly, just by hearsay
views, it will not lead anyone to the non-dual destination.
Seeker has to
learn to view and judge on the standpoint of formless witness(FW) or soul or self.
Then he will be never having any confusion.
When one thinks deeply then only the inner revelation starts and start
burning the dross (confusion/doubts). One has enough material stored in one’s
subconscious by reading this massages in FP blogs; all will start yielding
fruits and start revealing, when he starts thinking very deeply. This is the inner process every serious
seeker experiences. The inner dialogue
will start and one will start getting answers from inner core of his
existence.
