To be on the formless path is to be at the goal. Hence there is no goal because the goal is formless, therefore, there is no scope for form, time and space. It is free don from form, time and space. One have to cross over from based path to formless path to abide in the formless existence or Soul.
Things become a little more complicated because the formless path has no map, the path is not char ted, the path is not such that one can follow somebody and discover it. The path is not like a express highway; the path is more like a eagle flying in the sky – it leaves no marks behind. The eagle has flown but no marks are left; nobody can follow. So the path is a formless path. It is a path, but it is a formless path.
It is not ready-made, available; one cannot just decide to walk on it, he will have to find it through mental effort through deeper thinking . And he will have to find it through deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning. No other path is going to function . one has to realize the fact that, Self is soul and self is not individual. Only by realizing and assimilating the self is formless soul, one will find the formless path towards the formless reality.
The wisdom is based not on the physical self but on soul or consciousness , the innermost self. When wisdom dawns then there is neither the person, nor his experience of world ,nor his belief of god remain as reality. Therefore, it is necessary to find and realize the fact that, the the self is not physical but it is formless spirit.
The waking entity cannot operate itself as a person and perceive the world without the soul. Waking entity itself is not the experiencer of the itself. The soul or consciousness, the innermost self experiences itself as physical body and perceives the world within the illusion or mind. Till and unless this mystery is unfolded it is impossibility to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana.
