Spirit or soul or consciousness is the innermost self. consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman. brahman or ultimate truth cannot be known by intuition but it can be grasped from the soul-centric reasoning . Therefore, there is a need to know first the self is not physical but the self is formless soul. seeker has to start reasoning on the base of the formless soul, the innermost self . Then only all the clouds and confusion starts clearing on its own and finally on will have no confusion left to say the illusion as whole is spirit.
One knows everything of everything within the waking experience. The physical apparatus is absent in deep sleep, so he cannot know anything by intuition, Because there is no duality in deep sleep. This proves that the duality is present only in waking or dream. And also it proves that if there be such a faculty as intuition it must be limited to the physical self. People speak the supra-mental consciousness, who or what is there, to discover it because the mind is not there? It is an absurd statement.
The psychological writings of mystics and the pseudo-scientific explanations are not inferences from the facts of their mystic experiences but mere imaginations.
The mystic who says he has cosmic consciousness implies that he has astral traveled and seen that this consciousness was also there in the astral world; even if we take his experiences as reality there is no truth in it because it is also mirage within the mirage. Until the duality persists the non-dual reality will not be revealed.
By becoming
more and more intellectual one becomes more and more intoxicated to
individuality. The intellectuality is limited to duality. In realm of truth the intellectuality is replaced
by non-dual wisdom. There is nothing
exist other than formless non dual existence. Therefore, there is no individual to become sane or insane.
There is no second thing exists, other than consciousness. Everything is one, that is, unity in diversity.
The curiosity, urge cannot be imposed on others. it has to sprout within. One need not become
holy Shepard because the holy Shepard is within in to guide every seeker. Until
one is aiming to be a master, Guru or teacher, he will never reach his destination.
One has to share his knowledge with the fellow seeker not to make them his
followers but only direct them if they are interested to travel beyond form,
time and space. it is foolish to impose
our idea on others because everyone is not in same level of understanding. Every one's inner work is on. When they are
ripe enough they will understand, assimilate and realize on their own. If they are ready and sharp enough they will
grasp it instantly and they will reach their destination with lesser time and
effort. Thus preaching, teaching is not wisdom, but by very careful reasoning,
seeker has to determine the nature of reality. Thinking in right direction
alone helps seeker determining the nature of reality.
The sugar cannot know
itself its sweetness. The true self without ignorance is without the experience
of duality or illusion. Thus one has to base on the sugar not on its sweetness.
Without the sugar there is no sweetness. Similarly without the consciousness,
the three states cease to exist as reality.
