FORMLESS PATH
Gnani do not want anything, not even God or Heaven, because he knows that even Heaven and God are reality only on the base of waking entity.
Unreality has different meanings, that which does not exist and that which is mistaken for something else. In pursuit of truth the meaning is the three states which appear in succession, which seem to exist as reality. Hence the first work in pursuit of truth is to learn to analyze the three states which appear and disappear. After analyzing the dream, one knows that it could not have been inside the small space of his physical body during sleep; hence it must have been a dream. The physical body would not have contained the dream world; hence the dream is unreal, because of its inconsistency. Hence on further analysis and examination he realizes it is only an idea. It is the fact of inconsistency which is emphasized here.
Seeker of truth is neither he is an atheist nor religionist; he sticks to God as non dual Truth and not to God as imagined by every religionist. He does not accept an unreal God. When he is dreaming he does not regard the objects as unreal; only after awakening. Many yogis are under the delusion that if world disappears in meditation they are having Brahmic wisdom. They shut their eyes to the non dual truth.
