The fear and suffering is often a cause of
bringing people to the pursuit of truth.
Because of contradictory arguments and conflicting conclusions—people
mistook Religions for spirituality. Many
People think that ultimate truth cannot be got, but they are mistaken. Religion will give one the goal of non-dualistic
truth, i.e. the knowledge of everything. Religion may make one happy, give
satisfaction, but that is another matter, but one cannot get rid of his
ignorance through religion. Therefore one must make his mind clear as to what
object or goal he wants in life, because he cannot travel in opposite
directions.
One has to understand the fact that, there is no alleviation of sufferings of mankind except the ultimate Truth. Know the truth and that truth sets one free from experiencing untruth as truth. Yoga may alleviate one's physical troubles. The thing is to know the truth that the world is unreal. The birth, life and death takes place within the world also is unreal, because the world itself is unreal. Thus, all the pleasure and pain mankind suffers within the world is also unreal, on the base of ultimate standpoint.
By shutting oneself in a cave shutting himself from the world does not yield truth. Such venture leads to insanity and fixed ideas or delusions.
The world facing one has to be analyzed. The chief purpose of analyzing the external world is to discover that it is part of the ultimate reality, and thus to enable us to carry on with activity from the highest possible viewpoint; where people fail to make this analysis, as with so many religious-minded seekers, they fail to do anything worthwhile in the physical world.
To effect this discrimination, one needs an intelligence much sharper than the average, whereas too much religion and not a little mysticism drugs this intelligence. The highest state is to be the “Whole”—seeker should not to shut his eyes to the world and to go off into the deep sleep or Samadhi.
Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is knowledge of undifferentiated Reality. Self-knowledge is difficult to understand even
with the help of the gurus or various Scriptures or gurus because it is the
knowledge of the innermost self. The seeker has to ascertain and realize on his
own.
Self-Awareness means becoming aware of with formless non-dual Consciousness,
which is the innermost Self. Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana clears all the cobwebs of doubts
and confusion and frees one from absolutely from all concepts.
When one scrutinizes mind, which is in the form of universe he
realizes that, it does not really exist and the mind or universe is mere mirage
created out the undifferentiated consciousness, which is the innermost self. When
the Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana becomes firm with the conviction by cling to the truth, one
is able discard the untruth mentally than the ignorance vanishes and the mind
becomes one with the source, from where it used to rise and subside as waking
or dream. The consciousness is the formless substance, witness and the source
of the mind or universe. Thus the formless substance, witness and the source
are one in essence and that essence is consciousness. Thus consciousness is Absolute Reality or
Brahman.
In self-awareness the mind abides as consciousness then there is
no duality which is in the form of the mind or universe. When the mind or
universe is absorbed in consciousness, and then is no trace of reality in the
experience of the duality or waking experience.
In the midst of waking one
becomes aware of the fact that his body is not the body his ego is not ego his
world is not world but they too are consciousness. Therefore there is no scope
for second thing other than consciousness.
