People think that the enlightenment is about the experience of the timeless,
formless, space less unmanifested dimension and it is possible by transcending
ego. They also think that the universe
is born millions of years ago and the universe erupted from the big void, from
noting -ness. But these ideas are mere speculation based on
the false self within the false experience.
Where there is experience then there is duality. Where there is duality then there is always
illusion. Where there is illusion then there is always ignorance. Where there
is ignorance there is always ego. Where there is ego the false hood experienced
as reality. Therefore, getting rid of the falsehood in its totality is
necessary to realize the reality. Thus, transcending ego alone one cannot gets non-dual reality, the whole false hood, which is in the form of mind or universe
has to transcended mentally in order
realize the ultimate reality.
It is erroneous to say that only by transcending the ego; one is able to
experience formless, timeless and space-less unmanifested dimension. It is
wrong to say that the universe erupted from the big void, from nothingness. All
this are mere imaginations based on the false self.
It is traditional belief that, if one meditates; he assumes no position
in relationship with thoughts. One transcends his thought process. So when one
transcends thoughts, he transcends mind, one transcend time. But all these
belief based theoretical practices are not wisdom. Only through wisdom one is
able to realize the ultimate truth which is beyond illusory form, time space
which is in the form of universe.
Those who lack the intelligence to
discriminate between formless witness (subject) and three states [object] will
not be able to grasp what is real and what is unreal. Both subject and object
are consciousness, not subject alone.
The truth can never change. The nature
of truth is, it can never be changed under any circumstances. It may be
misrepresented. It must apply to the whole of existence, to the whole of the
universe. It is in the object (three states) alone that one has all changes, as
deeper analysis points out.
The subject (formless witness) remains
unchanged. The subject (formless witness), as such remains immortal. It can
never die for it never changes. The body and world are an object, and goes, but
the subject or knower of the body and the universe, can never go. Seeker has to
take this principle as his guiding thread and non-dual truth becomes easy to
grasp. The formless witness can never be subject to the changes of the object;
it is unchanged. The mistake usually made is that subject becomes object, or
that object is subject.
