99% people will not show interest in path of wisdom. And path of
wisdom is for those who found the path of religion, path of yoga and all
theoretical philosophy and scriptural studies inadequate and useless in quench
their inner thirst.
People are searching for remedies for their problems of
practical life within the practical world.
Path of love is very valuable in practical world. A Gnani follows path
of love in practical world and he loves the whole humanity but he inwardly he
is fully aware of the fact that, the practical life within the practical world
are part mere mirage.
They alone in
this world are endowed with the highest wisdom who are firm in their conviction
of the sameness and birthlessness of Ataman. The ordinary man does not
understand their way. [Chapter IV
— Alatasanti Prakarana 95-P-188 in Upanishads by Nikilanada]
Thus, self-knowledge is meant only for those who have intense urge, and
courage to accept the truth with humility and reject the untruth. Since people
start comparing with their scriptural knowledge, it becomes impossible to
assimilate and realize the non-dual truth. Therefore, there is no
need to convince anyone other than our own-selves to get the firm conviction.
I am not trying to prove my views, but it is for every seeker who
is in the path of truth to prove himself to know “What is truth, “and “What is
untruth?” to assimilate the self -knowledge.
By becoming more and more intellectual one becomes more and
more intoxicated to individuality. The intellectuality is limited to
duality. In realm of truth the
intellectuality is replaced by non-dual wisdom.
There is nothing exist other than formless non dual existence.
Therefore, there is no individual to become
sane or insane. There is no second thing exists, other than consciousness. Everything is one, that is, unity in
diversity. The curiosity, urge cannot be imposed on others. It has to sprout within. One need not become a
guru because the guru is within guides every seeker.
If one is aiming
to be a master, Guru or teacher, he will never reach his destination. One has
to share his knowledge with the fellow seeker not to make them his followers
but only direct them if they are interested to travel beyond form, time and
space.
It is foolish to
impose our idea on others because everyone is not in same level of
understanding. Every one's inner work is
on. When they are ripe enough they will understand, assimilate and realize on
their own. If they are ready and sharp
enough they will grasp it instantly and they will reach their destination with
lesser time and effort. Thus preaching, teaching is not wisdom, but by very
careful reasoning, seeker has to determine the nature of reality. Thinking in
right direction alone helps seeker determining the nature of reality.
The sugar cannot know itself its sweetness. The true self
without ignorance is without the experience of duality or illusion. Thus one
has to base on the sugar not on its sweetness. Without the sugar there is no
sweetness. Similarly without the consciousness, the three states cease to exist
as reality.
