Whatever you have seen, known, believed and experienced as a
person of the universe is mere an illusion because the universe itself is mere
an illusion. The ego, body, word and thought and experiences are part and
parcel of the illusion. Thus the illusion is nothing to do with the soul the
innermost self. The soul, which is
present in the form of consciousness, is free from the limitation of the form,
time and space. When the soul, the
innermost self is free from the limitation of the form, time and space then it
is free from the experience of the birth, life and death. If the self is free from the experience of
the birth, life and death then it is free from the experience of past, present
and future. Thus there is no second
thing exists other than the soul, which is present in the form of
consciousness. Thus consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. --FORMLESS PATH
To realize Brahman is not easy. One has to mentally reject the physical
awareness (form, time and space) by perfect understanding of ‘what is truth’
and ‘what is untruth’. Without knowing what is truth’ it is impossible to
reject the untruth. Till one holds the form, time and space as reality it is
impossible to realize the ultimate truth of Brahman. Realization of the fact that, the form, time
and space are one in essence leads to Self-awareness.
All the activities within the waking experience, is nothing to do with
the soul, the innermost self. The soul,
the innermost self is birthless whereas the waking entity (you) is bound by
birth, life, death and the world.
All the activities within the dream, is nothing to do with the soul, the
innermost self. The soul, the innermost
self is birthless whereas the dream entity
is bound by birth, life, death and the world. The dream becomes unreal when waking takes
place same way the waking becomes unreal when the soul, the innermost self
remains in its own awareness.
The soul remains in its own
awareness unconsciously in deep sleep and consciously when the wisdom
dawns.
Thus the soul, the innermost self is nothing to do with the three states because the soul, the
innermost self is only the formless substance and witness of the coming and
going of the three states. In reality
the formless substance and witness of the three states are one in essence. That
essence is consciousness. Thus all the three states are of the same substance.
Hence there is no second thing exists other than consciousness. Thus consciousness is ultimate truth or
Brahman.
