It is impossible to change circumstances of life by following spiritual laws because
there is no law in the realm of the formless soul, the innermost self. The laws imply duality. The duality is not a reality from the ultimate standpoint. The
happiness, misery and the world are one in essence. That essence is consciousness. By realizing
the essence as innermost self leads to Self-awareness. In self-awareness the physical-based
happiness, misery and the world are absent because there is only oneness.
Truth is hidden in
everything and everywhere as formless substance and witness of the dual (waking
or dream) and non-dual (deep sleep) experiences. To be enlightened is
to know the formless substance and witness of the three states as ultimate
truth.
The formless
substance and witness is the soul or spirit or consciousness. The mind or
universe or waking (experience of diversity) rises from the formless Soul and subsides back as the soul or consciousness. Thus, the soul is
the source of the mind, which is present as the universe. Universe rises as waking or
dream subsides as deep sleep.
The three
states are unreality on the standpoint of the formless soul or
consciousness, the innermost self. Thus, the self is neither the
waking entity [ego] nor the self is the dream entity but the self is
the formless soul or consciousness, which witnesses the coming and going of the
three states. Therefore, there is a need to learn to view and judge the three
states on the base of the Soul as the Self, in order to realize the ultimate truth or
Brahman.
The pursuit of truth is
to know the facts of one’s true existence. To Know the facts is to know the
Truth. Most people are unaware of the fact that physical existence or
universe is merely an illusion and live in a delusion Realization of
Ultimate Truth or Brahman is the Gateway to freedom from experiencing duality as
reality. Therefore there is a need to realize the fact that, the
formless soul or consciousness is the innermost self, and soul or
consciousness is the ultimate reality or Brahman. There is no truth
without a formless Soul or consciousness.:~Santthosh Kumaar
