In waking or dream the universe comes: in deep sleep the waking or dream goes.



In waking or dream the universe comes: in deep sleep   the waking or dream   goes. In waking or dream (universe or mind) one is born: in waking or dream (universe or mind) one dies. 

In waking or dream (universe or mind) one lives, in Waking or dream (universe or mind)one suffers. In Waking or dream [universe or mind] one earns, in Waking or dream (universe or mind) one enjoys. In Waking or dream (universe or mind) is one truthful or lies like a liar. In Waking or dream (universe or mind) one reflects on Virtue and Sin. In Waking or dream (universe or mind) do one lands in Heaven and Hell. In Waking or dream (universe or mind)is one happy, in Waking or dream(universe or mind)  in sorrow. In Waking or dream (universe or mind) does one sin, in Waking or dream wash it off. In Waking or dream (universe or mind) does one lose the distinctions of caste and kind. In Waking or dream (universe or mind) is one wise; in Waking or dream is one unwise. The waking is parallel dream and dream is parallel waking experience. 

In Waking one has an urge to know the truth. In Waking one is in the illusion; in Waking is one shadowed by Doubts and confusion, in waking one thinks of reincarnation and rebirth.  In waking one thinks that he is born in this world and world existed prior to him. In waking one is in ignorance of the true self, which is consciousness. If one spots out the true self within the three states, one realizes the way to freedom. 

One is in action in Waking or dream. In Waking or dream one is bound by form, time and space. Waking or dream is in the form of mind. Mind appears and disappears as waking or dream.  If there is no mind then there is no waking or dream. Waking or dream is born out of ignorance of the true self. Getting rid of the ignorance through wisdom is   the way to the release. In Waking or dream, one follows the Writ of habit. Waking or dream is a chronic malady; but within it also is its remedy. 

When the mind is stills through wisdom, one destroys the sense of duality or ‘I’ .  The egocentricity is the cause of experiencing the illusion is reality. Thus practicing egocentric paths such as yoga, religion and theoretical philosophy makes one more and more egocentric because they are based on the ego, which false self within the false experience.

Illusion and attachment are also created out of consciousness; consciousness itself deludes through the illusion.



What is illusion? Illusion is where one is bound birth, life, death and universe, and one sees everything on the base of waking entity or dream entity. Illusion and attachment are also created out of consciousness; consciousness itself deludes through the illusion.  Waking entity or dream entity is ego.   Egocentric does pious acts, but he does not the consciousness is the ultimate truth and wastes his life away with his inherited beliefs and accumulated knowledge.  

The one, who becomes aware of the fact that the consciousness is ultimate reality, is eternally becomes free from experiencing the illusion as reality. 

The waking or dream, body and the universe are part and parcel of the illusion. When the waking or dream is present the body and the universe is present. If waking or dream is not there the body and the universe cease to exist. The waking or dream, body and the universe are within the mind. If mind is there universe is there.  Thus mind itself is universe. Limiting the mind to the physical entity is cause of the experiencing the illusion as reality.   

Clinging to waking or dream is clinging to illusion. Clinging to illusion is clinging to ignorance. Clinging to ignorance is clinging is clinging to the illusory experience of birth life, death and universe as reality.  By accepting the experience of birth, life, death and universe as reality are accepting the unreality as reality. Therefore, there is a need to know the one which is aware of mind (the experience of birth, life, death and universe) is not the body which is born lives and dies within the universe, but the soul, which is in the form of consciousness.    

One tries to grasp illusion, but it eludes his grasp. “When one abandoned and discards illusion with by accepting the truth that, the consciousness is the true self, then the ignorance disappears and the reality starts revealing itself.   Ignorance gives birth to the mind, which is illusion. The mind rises and subsides from the Soul.  

 Illusion is intoxicating material.  It grips everyone and everything within the duality. Because it pervades and grips everywhere and everything in duality everyone becomes unaware of the reality. No one has known thy bare reality. Only who are discovered the true self and attuned mentally to the soul, which is in the form of consciousness, realize the duality is mere mirage created out of Consciousness.

Illusion has affected the three states, and physical discipline erases not its effect; and men, involved in Strife, are intoxicated with its intoxication are immersed in manipulating the high and low of their physical life.  Only through Self-knowledge one will be able to overcome the intoxication of illusion.

"When a person is sleeping soundly, free from dreams, with a still mind, that is the Self, fearless and deathless. That is Brahman, the supreme." - Chandogya Upanishad

Consciousness is within this universe but it is not of this universe



Consciousness is the true Self. Consciousness is within this universe but it is not of this universe. It is in this universe, but not of this universe means it is the formless substance and witness of the universe, which is in the form of the mind (I). The mind (I) appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep. The self who is in the form of consciousness is the formless knower of the mind, which comes and goes.   Consciousness is above; it is transcendental to all the miseries, which are inevitable in this illusory universe.  Therefore, there is a need to realize the fact that, the mind, which is in the form of universe is mere mirage created out consciousness.   Thus, the birth, life, death and world are mere mirage on the stand point of the consciousness, which is the true self. Only on the base of physical self the universe is reality.  Thus the Self is within the universe but it is without the universe.

Only a Gnani alone can actually create the awareness of the truth. He can enliven and illuminate others to get out of this ignorance by being transcendental to the illusory birth, life, death and the universe. Gnani tries to guide the seekers get rid of the inherited ignorance and, rise above the waking -centric concepts, be in this universe, but not of this universe, be in tune with the consciousness, which is his  true identity and the ultimate truth.
This material existence is mere mirage. It is like a wax in the candle it will burn away.  All attempts for freedom is possible only when one is ready to overcome the ignorance. To overcome the ignorance is possible only when one realizes the birth, life, death and the world are mere illusion created out of consciousness.  The consciousness is ultimate truth. And the one who knows this truth knows the knower (consciousness) is free from the known (mind).  

Through Self-knowledge, all of one’s waking-centric successes and all of his credible accomplishments within the duality are ultimately evaporated and consciousness alone will prevail as non-dual existence.
