Trev Light Bown :- "The universe
will not vanish, when wisdom dawns, only the ignorance disappears and unreal
nature of the universe or mind or waking is exposed, same way as the unreal
nature of the dream exposed when waking takes place."
Ah so on awakening as Gnani the universe, world is still
there as real as it was. But dreams always disappear. By calling everyday living as dream or illusion is
wrong choice of words.
SK:- Gnana is
possible only in the realm of duality. In Nonduality there is no second thing
exists other than the soul or consciousness or spirit. Thus the seeker travels
from ignorance to wisdom within the duality. A Gnani
is fully aware of the fact that, his body, his ego and his experience of the
world as consciousness whereas the ignorant believes his body, his ego and his
world as real thus he experiences the duality as reality.
The dream reality is reality till waking takes place. The unreal
nature of the dream is exposed when waking takes place. Thus the dream is never
again becomes a reality. Similarly for Gnani is fully aware of the unreal
nature of the waking in the midst of waking. Since Gnani is soulcentric his
judgment is based on the soul he sees his body as consciousness, his ego as consciousness
and his experience of the world consciousness. Thus for a Gnani everything is consciousness
and the consciousness alone is real and everything else is mere mirage created
out of consciousness. Whereas the ignorant
is egocentric and he takes the physical
existence (universe) as reality. Thus when everything is observed on the base
of ego the all sorts of doubts will prevail. When one is soulcentric there are
no doubts and there is no confusion and no scope for any argument. Whatever is happening within the waking or
whatever happening within the dream is nothing to do with the soul. Thus to
know the truth one has to realize ‘what is that becomes the ‘waking experience’
and ‘what is it that becomes a dream? and what is it that remains with or without
the waking or dream?
It becomes very difficult to assimilate Nondualistic or Advaitic
truth for those who believe the experience of birth, life, death and the world
as reality and hold egocentric paths and theories as ultimate truth. Gradually they will start accepting the truth
as they go deeper in self-search. thus the judgment should be on the soul not on the ego before coming to any conclusion or pasing any opnion.
