The thoughts arise only when the self is
considered as form. Thoughts cannot rise without the form.
Without the duality the thoughts will not form. The duality will not form
without the ignorance of the soul, the innermost self.
Until a man thinks himself as the doer he
will remain in ignorance. Until he is ignorant he will not be able to believe
the birth, life and death is an illusion. Until he realizes the three states
are unreal he will not be able to accept the birth, life, death and the world as
an illusion. Until he thinks illusion/duality as reality he will not be able to
assimilate self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
People who stuck to their religious belief
and think scriptural authorities as ultimate truth therefore they will not be
able to assimilate self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Soul, the innermost self, is nothing to do with religion, its concept of
God and its code of conduct. Following religious code of conduct is accepting
the false self (waking entity or ego) as true self and false experience as
reality (waking).
Accepting so-called spiritual laws, is
accepting the illusion as reality. The laws are reality within the
duality. The one who thinks of existence spiritual laws is accepted
himself as a person perceiving the world that is accepting himself as the doer.
When the man is not the doer, how the actions done on the base of false
identity can yield fruits.
One has to think, when he is a false entity within
the false experience, the religion he follows, the belief he believes, the
truth he has accepted, the knowledge he has accumulated, whatever he has seen
known, experienced as a person IS bound
to be falsehood.
There is no need to condemn any ones’
views and ideas or writing, but without being judgmental, the seeker has to
verify whether the author is speaking on the standpoint of ego, or whether he
is speaking on the standpoint of the formless soul, the innermost self.
If his views are based on the standpoint of the waking entity or ego, then
there is many doubts and confusion. If his views are based on the soul as self
then there is no confusion and doubts of any sort.
Nothing has to be accepted without verifying
the validity of any claim in pursuit of truth. Only the un-contradictable
truth has to be accepted as truth. There is no need to condemn any
religion or any saints or sages, but the seeker has to think beyond religion,
scriptures and individualized gods.
The religious, yogic and worldly truths are
individual truth based on the form or ego. The spiritual truth is
universal truth, which is based on the soul or consciousness or spirit. The
truth which is based on the formless soul, the innermost self is the ultimate
truth or Brahman or Christ or Emptiness.
The religion is based on the body (form) as
self, since it is based on the birth. Spirituality is based on the soul or spirit
(formless). Thus there is a need to bifurcate the religion from spirituality.
Religion views and judges on the standpoint of
the waking entity (ego), whereas the in pursuit of truth everything is viewed,
judged and concluded on the base of the soul, the innermost self.
Whatever is based on the waking entity (ego) is not spirituality because
the soul or spirit has no form, so it has no religion. Therefore, the seeker
of truth has to rectify the reasoning base, from form to formless in order to acquire
the Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
Viewing judging and concluding the ultimate
truth on the base of ego (false self) will not unfold the mystery of the mind
or the universe. There is no need of religion, belief of God and
scriptures in pursuit of truth. Since the
belief of god is not the center of the universe but the soul, which is present
in the form of the universe is the center of the universe. Consciousness is the cause of the dual (waking
or dream) and non-dual (deep sleep) experiences and it itself is uncaused. The consciousness is one and it appears as many
(universe or waking). And the many disappears as one (soul). Thus the soul (the innermost self) and mind (the
universe) are one in essence.
The duality (waking) becomes oneness (non-duality)
in deep sleep and Oneness (non-duality) becomes duality in waking or dream. Therefore,
that which becomes duality, and that which becomes Oneness (non-duality) is not the
waking entity, because the waking entity is present only in waking and dream.
The one, which is aware of coming and going of the three states, is the formless
soul. The formless soul is apart and eternal. The formless soul, which
is present in the form of consciousness itself is ultimate truth or Brahman.
The soul, which is present in the form of consciousness
and the mind (I), which is present in the form of the universe (waking) are one
in essence. All the attachment, feelings,
sentiments are part of the duality (universe or waking), which is mere an
illusion. Thus it is necessary to know ‘what
is truth and ‘what is untruth’ to accept the truth and reject the untruth.
The mind does not project because the mind itself is an illusion.
Soul, the innermost self is nothing to
do with the illusion. Due to ignorance the
illusion is experienced as reality. Man and his experience of the world are
part and parcel of the illusion. The soul, the innermost self is present in the
form of consciousness. Consciousness is the substance and the witness of the
illusion. The soul the innermost self is apart from the illusion because it is
not an entity of identity within the illusion. It is within the illusion and it is apart from
the illusion.
It is within because
it is the formless substance of the illusion and it is apart because it is the
formless witness of the illusion. In the
realm of the truth the formless substance and witness are one in essence. That essence
is consciousness. Thus there is no second
thing exist other than that consciousness because the whole illusion (universe
or duality) is created out of consciousness. –FORMLESS PATH
