The ultimate truth does not belongs to religion, because the religion is built on physical foundation. Form ultimate standpoint physical existence (universe or waking) is falsehood. Living religious way is not the means to truth realization; one has to have the courage to go into the unknown on his own, not by following anybody or any religion, simply but indulging in deeper self-search. If one has the courage, to accept the truth and reject the untruth, then one reaches the ultimate truth on his own.
Religion is based on belief . The blind belief, and belief is an obstacle in pursuit of truth. Religion is made for the crowd. By simply following the crowd, one goes with the ignorant mob. In pursuit of truth the seeker has to go alone, he has to be alone. Truth has no religion and no tradition. Seeker of truth is a rebellion.
The truth is based on formless soul, that is why , the pursuit of truth is ’the formless path’. It is a path, but not like other paths. It has a very different quality to it the quality of freedom, the freedom from illusory reality.
Imposing religious or yogic a discipline on oneself, one will remain prisoner of physicality. The truth has to arise out of the physical awareness, then he will be a Gnani. If one impose an order on his physical self this will be just a pretension: the disorder is the cause of the conditioning. The disorder will be only on the physical plane, at the core there will be always order. Therefore one becomes restless and he is in quest of something which brings everything in order. The unknown thing he is searching is the truth. The truth of his true existence.
The real order not arises not in the physical existence[mind], but from the bottomless source of the physical existence[mind]. Thus tracing the source of the mind mentally, leads one to realization of truth
The truth is virgin; and it is second-to none. The religion is based on false self and conceptual god. God is reality only on the base of false self. Thus, the belief is based on the false self. But the truth is based on the formless source of the false hood.
Without
knowing what truth is, how can one know what is untruth? Mere bookish knowledge
or knowledge based on speculation and assumption is mere playing with the words
not non-dual wisdom. Intellectuality is
based on the false self thus it will not yield any fruits.
How can
one look on the conscious level when his body, ego and universe are an object
to the true self, which is in the form of consciousness. Until one traces the formless substance and
witness of the mind, which is in the form of universe, the non-dual wisdom will
not dawn.
The
lengthy explanation in depth is very much needed in pursuit of truth, which
helps the seeker think and helps the seeker to divert his attention from form
to formless.
The scriptures and theories and teaching based
on the ego are not the yardstick. Using them as yardstick to understand and
assimilate the truth will lead one towards pursuit of arguments. Seeker of
truth has to discover on his own, the truth of his true existence by inquiring
“what is mind?” and “what is substance of the mind?” and move forward.
The wisdom consists in knowing the
truth, that everything (mind or physical existence) is consciousness. Freedom
[truth] is always there yet one does not know it. But to those whose reason is turned away from
physicality and who have attained the serenity of the soul, the innermost self (consciousness)are quite near to the ultimate truth.
To think once own body and his
experience of the world is an illusion is difficult matter, unless one realizes
the self is not physical but it is formless soul it is difficult to have
glimpse of truth.
When one realizes the fact that, the
self is not physical but the formless soul, naturally the body and universe
becomes illusion.
The mind (universe) is emanating from
soul (consciousness) means the mind is being effect from consciousness is not
different from it. Deeper analysis shows it. Analysis needs deeper thinking and
reasoning. Mind is whole universe thus it has a form. But where is the form in
consciousness (soul) because consciousness is like an ocean and mind is like
wave. The universe is same
consciousness, as the ocean produces the wave, so the consciousness produces
the mind (universe).
The moment one knows the mind (universe) is consciousness, and then there is no ignorance. If one knows
consciousness as self then everything is consciousness, the consciousness is
second to none. The mind is
consciousness but due to ignorance one mistakes it for something else. One
thinks the self is within the body; but the self is without the body and the
world.
Mind ceases to exist without the matter. Without the matter mind
ceases to exist as mind but it exists as matter- less awareness or
consciousness. Without the mind neither the world nor its perceiver can exist.
Without the matter there is no duality. Without duality there is
no experience. Without experience it is non-dual reality. Therefore, whatever
prevails without the mind is ultimate reality.
The true nature of the soul (consciousness) is camouflaged by
the illusion or duality. To know the truth
one has to discover and realize the formless substance of the mind or illusion.
One has to learn to view and judge the worldview on the standpoint the formless
soul as self. Self-Knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is the prime goal of the truth
seeker. This goal is hidden within the mind as its invisible substance and
witness. Therefore, it is necessary inquiry, analyze and reason in to the
nature of mind or duality or illusion in order to unfold the mystery of mind or
duality or illusion.
