The
sun has risen countless times; one may say it will rise again the next day, but
is not absolute truth. One infers it. It is merely logical and suited for
adoption for practical purposes within the practical world; but there is no
certainty possible in any prediction.
Doubt
is valuable because it leads to asking questions and thus to inquiry. Existence
of doubt makes on seek Gnana; if one kills all thoughts and all doubts, as
mystic does he will never seek or find truth as the question will not arise. Without proving the fact nothing has to be
accepted as truth.
The
ultimate Truth should not only be known but it should be proved, verified.
Advaita does not prove that there is ONE! It proves that there is no second
thing. Vedanta starts with no assumption whatever but proved every step taken,
it does not even start with assumption that Brahman exists; the discovery of
the existence of Brahman comes only at the end of our inquiry and not at the
beginning. The path of wisdom is a path of verification for every tenet; one
needs proof, not poetry.
Some
thinker started with one substance and some with the Absolute; but where
is the proof of the existence of this one or the Absolute. Hence they
started with assumptions; whereas Advaita starts with no assumption whatever but proved every step
taken, it does not even start with assumption that Brahman exists; the
discovery of the existence of Brahman comes only at the end of soulcentric
inquiry and reasoning and not at the beginning.
The rebirth and reincarnation theory
is based on the false self because the self is birthless and deathless because it is formless. The self is not the one,which is born,live and dies in the illusory world.
The birth, life, death and the world are
reality within the false experience then the theory of rebirth and reincarnation is
reality within the illusion. Since, man is immersed himself in believing
the duality as reality, he is unaware of the ultimate truth or Brahman.
When the seeker discovers the fact that, the waking entity the false self within the false experience (waking) then he realizes the formless soul, which witness the coming and going of the three states is the true self. When the seeker learns to view and judge the three states on the base of the soul, then the
ignorance drops. When ignorance drops then he becomes
aware of the fact that, the three states are mere mirage created sustained and
finally dissolves as soul, which is in the form of the spirit or consciousness.
Names and forms are part of the
false experience. Origin of the false experience is the soul. The soul is the
formless substance and witness of the three states. Without the formless witness, the false
experience ceases to exist. Therefore, the false self(waking entity or ego) has to realze it itself is not the self in order to overcome the duality.
