Formless Path





FORMLESS PATH
Nondual wisdom can be got through inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the base of the soul as self. The yogi's goal is nirvikalp Samdhi. The Samadhi is not nondual wisdom. The goal the seeker after truth goal being different, his application of the steps is different from the yogi. This nondual wisdom is the first practice. It consists in saying of all the three states are seen to the seer, which is soul /self. "Seer/witness is Ataman" or "self ". Thus waking/dream is regarded as mind. Therefore, the man and world are regarded as mind. Waking/dream disappear back in Soul/self. Waking/dream are only names and forms. Where have they gone? Waking/dream is also Ataman, because they erupted out of Ataman and subsides as Ataman/Self.
If one knows waking also is dream, and waking/dream is mental, when waking /dream go, it becomes Ataman/ self. Hence, he who becomes a Gnani is able to know his -self as Ataman. This is the meaning of non-causality. Mind seemed to be the cause of thoughts, ideas, but their elimination shows clearly that they are non-different from it. The Gnani cannot change the seeker; he can direct him.
There is no idea of time, form and space without waking/dream. Therefore, the form, time and space are nothing but mind/'I'.
