Many think finding the source of the thoughts one becomes aware of the truth and they are not sure what thoughts are and where do they come from. Thoughts are part of the illusion and thoughts will rise until the illusion is remains as reality. Therefore, seeking truth on the thought oriented theories will not lead the seeker to know the ultimate truth.
Until and unless one becomes aware of the fact, how or in what way the physical existence is illusion, one will remain in the grip of duality, and base himself on physicality or intellectuality. The intellectuality is great hindrance in pursuit of truth because it is based on physical self /ego.
There is a need to know the facts about the thought is that; they are arising in duality or illusion. They are absent without the duality. There is no need to be curious about what are they and where they come from continues to arise instead find the source of the illusion and the substance of the illusion to unfold the mystery of the mind/physical existence.
As intellectually elegant and edifying all of these discussions of non-duality may be, they don't bring about true liberation because they are based on physicality. One has to mentally grasp the nondual truth to cross the threshold of duality.
Since people mix yoga and karma theory which is based on physicality it becomes difficult for them to understand assimilates the self-knowledge. If the body is not the self, and the true self is formless, then how the “Kundalini” will work when the self is not the physical body. If body is not the self, then where one has to trace those chakras in formless self. If body is not the self then the karma theory becomes meaningless because the action is part of the illusion. Therefore, there is a need for deeper understanding the fact to assimilate the nondual truth.
Until one has the conviction that the Self is the body he will remain experiencing the duality as reality. This duality is too powerful to be displaced by simple conversations. It needs deeper thinking and understanding and assimilation to overcome the duality.
One cannot bring the mind to total stillness without understanding “What is mind?”and “What is substance of mind?”.
Yogic practice with correct posture to open the channels that allows the “Kundalini “rise into the sahasrara chakra is not the means to self-knowledge because it is based on the physicality. When the self is not the physical body, then the yogic practice is not the tool to acquire nondual wisdom. It is mere imagining the nondual nature of the self/soul and gain the time bound blankness of the mind.
