There cannot be two observers, physical entity is not the observer but the observer is that, which observers the physical entity and the world together without the physical eyes. Physical entity and world together is mind. The observer of the mind, which appears and disappears as waking and dream, is the soul/spirit is formless apart and eternal.
The pleasure and
pain are individual experiences happening within the waking experience.
Therefore their reality is limited to the waking experience because the waking
experience itself is illusion. Until one become aware of the fact that: how the
waking experience is illusion, he is bound to experience the duality as
reality. The individuality and individual experiences happening with in the
waking experience, is nothing to do with the formless Soul, which is witness of
the three states.
The pleasure and pain of the dream becomes
unreal when the waking takes place. Same way for a Gnani the waking experience
becomes mere an object of experience because he is soul-centric. Most of the
god men are pretending to be Gnani but they are egocentric. When one becomes soul-centric
for him body and world are also consciousness.
Because people think the body is born, lives and dies they feel the
pleasure and pain as reality. But it is not body alone that dies, the world
also dies together, because they appeared together and they disappear together
as deep sleep or death. The one which
is aware of the appearance disappearance of the three states is birth- less and
deathless, which our dear friend James called it as no one.
The no one is the soul, which Buddhist
called as nothingness or emptiness and Sri, Sankara called it as Brahman, Meher
Baba called it as I AM GOD STATE, and Christens called it Christ consciousness.
. When one consciously becomes aware of
the no one is the true self,
then there is no physical apparatus and world to experience, because a Gnani is
aware his body and the world are also consciousness. To get this conviction one has understand
the fact that, the birth, life, death and world are mere mirage created out of
consciousness. Whatever prevails without the mirage is ultimate truth, which is
consciousness.
If the self is formless then diversity is mere illusion. One
has to know this fact intellectually
first, then gradually as conviction becomes firm then he becomes soul-centric and he sees the sameness
in everything and the mind reaches the stillness and he becomes aware of the fact that, the soul itself is the ultimate truth.
We all including
the world exist in waking or dream. We experience different experiences as
individuals. When we consider we are individual separate from the world, we
will think whatever is happening within the waking experience as reality,
because we are judging the truth on the waking entity, which is erroneous. The
waking entity is limited to the waking experience alone. We have to learn to
judge truth on the base of the formless knower of the three states. Therefore, the individuality and individual
experience is nothing to do with the self, which is formless. Until one includes the world in his
realization to grasp the ultimate truth is impossibility.
We have to
realize Individual experience of birth, life and death is nothing to do with
the true self which is the soul, because the soul is our eternal identity. On
the base of soul as self there is neither witness nor witnessed, there is only
oneness.
