The consciousness alone gives rise to the waking experience. The man and his experience of the world are present within the waking experience. The individual experiences such as birth, life and death, pleasure and pain are happenings within the waking experience.
The religion, yoga and the entire theoretical teachings are based on the birth entity and they limit the soul to the physical entity, whereas the soul pervades all the three states as their formless substance and witness. When one realizes the fact that the formless substance and witness is the soul(consciousness or spirit), then there will be unity in diversity.
There was no mind is deep sleep. As soon as waking takes place the mind which contains, of a ready-made universe – including all men and creatures appears. The man – confronts universe in waking or dream. The waking or dream appears as a whole and disappears as a whole. To examine it closely, one has to analyse the three states and trace the witness of the three states is formless and apart.
One becomes aware of the fact that, the universe or mind, which appears and disappears, is only form and shape is created out of consciousness and nothing else. The consciousness alone is positive proof and on the standpoint of the consciousness or soul as self, one becomes aware of the falsity of this universe or mind, which is mere appearance. The one which appears as mind (universe) and disappears as no mind (soul) is consciousness alone. Therefore, the mind and soul are one in essence.
Mental analysis shows that, the existences of the formless witness, which witnesses the three states coming and going without a break. This, on closer analysis, is found to be that changeless, soul or consciousness itself.
Scriptures
are being added to from time to time. This process will go on. There is the
final authority among them? One contradicts the other: duality reigns supreme.
The
Upanishads are self-contradictory. Every pundit even gives conflicting
interpretations of them. The final authority therefore is using one’s own own
reason. One should apply his reason to them.
The
scriptures are for ignorant masses, who wholly accept the material world as it
presents itself. Gnana is for those who have begun to realize that things are
not what they seem.
The
Scriptures are of value only when dealing with persons who are incapable of
understanding truth. They have no value as authority for those who use reason.
