One need not doubt that mystic or yogi sees god in his vision. That he saw visions may he an undeniable fact. But the question is “Was what he saw as vision is the Truth?" In dream one sees himself as a king but dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. When waking becomes unreal when wisdom dawns, then what value the vision has which is based on the waking entity, when the waking entity and the waking world is unreal on the standpoint of the soul or consciousness , the innermost self.
To speak of seeking God is as meaningless and it is only a hollow word based on speculation or imagination. Yogis talk of universal consciousness. How do they know it in this iron post, or in that stone? Mere guess and they are speculating on the base of their gurus teaching. Speculating is mere assuming and assumption is not truth. Those who speak of developing God-Consciousness are meaningless, because they merely find their own idea of hallucination of God. They do not know what God is.
It
is impossible to prove the existence of God by any reasoning: one can only
believe or assume. Religionists see visions of gods and goddesses and adepts
according to their own impressions remaining unconsciously in the mind from the
inherited conditioning. This entire concept based confusion and doubts are
present only until the ignorance is there. Once one discovers the fact that,
the self is not physical but it is the soul/spirit then there is no scope for
duality, which he experienced as reality.
No one has seen God or world in deep sleep. One does
not know gods capacities, what god can do? and, what god cannot do in deep
sleep? Therefore, any statement one might make about God can be made only in
the waking experience [illusion]. Seeker of truth should not accept anything as
truth until and unless he verifies and satisfies himself through deeper
inquiry, analysis and reasoning. Belief of
the god is the part of the illusion; therefore, God is only a settled
fact for believers. However, for a Gnani
gods existence is only part of the illusion. Gnani knows nothing other than
consciousness(soul) can exists in the realm of truth.
Holy Korans Insight: - ANAL HAQ –(
I AM THE TRUTH) spiritually it means -- Self(soul) is the truth.
GITA: Ahum
Brahmsmi (I AM BRAHMAN) – spiritually it means –Self (soul) is ultimate truth.
Sri,Sankara :- Atman is Brahman – Soul is ultimate truth. Therefore, all the foundation of the religion
is based on truth (non-duality) but their practice is based on untruth (duality).
When the experience itself is illusion, whatever,
they experienced on the base of false self, within the false experience is
bound to be falsehood. How do the
mystics or yogis know they have experienced the whole, when they themselves
exist within the whole? There is the proof they have seen it? When they say,
"I know from experience" they merely mean, "I think so." In
realm of truth the man and his experience of the world are mere illusion
created out of the soul/consciousness. Moreover, the physical entity is not the
witness. The one, which sees the illusion (physical entity and world together)
as a whole, is formless. Thus, there is no physical apparatus to experience the
bliss or any sort of experience.
If
mystics experiences bliss, they cannot be waking or dreamless, for who is
having the bliss? Moreover, if they retain the waking or dream they cannot know
the Ultimate truth, the whole. Whatever they experienced as reality only in
illusion and illusion is myth. Whatever, prevails without the illusion/myth is
ultimate reality.
How the mystic knows, that God who tells about
himself in meditation is truthful! He may be telling a lie or he is in
hallucination! His claim has to be verified because in reality, there is no
scope for duality. Since his own existence as a person is part of the illusion.
Therefore, without verifying validity of his own existence, what value is there
for the claim made on the base of illusory entity within the illusion?
Supposing a mystic has a vision or experience is
true, but he must prove that it is really, what it purports to be, and that he
is not deluded. For that, one must analyze it on the standpoint of the
soul/true self to unfold the truth. All
the vision and experiences is an object to the soul. Appearances and quotations
have nothing to do in pursuit of truth.
