People who have not become firm in their power of reason, quote someone else as authority to support their reasoning because they have not got fullest confidence in their own powers.
When one is certain, he does not need any authority to support or confirm himself . There is no need for it. To appeal to others views, indicates his own reasoning is incomplete.
The seeker must not tell a lie is the first requirement in pursuit of truth. What he like for practical life it is not concerned with. Seeker has to keep his intuitions and instincts at a distance and he has to stick to known fact. To inquire, analyze and reason means to go to the very end of things.
Receptivity and Sharpness to grasp the truth is necessary in pursuit of truth. By merely hearing the truth mentioned they will grasp it.
Seeker has to to analyze the three states; and he has to think consistently on it. Exercise his thinking faculty and inquire continually; discrimination is essential; this practice is the only way to understand ,assimilate and realize the non-dual truth.
Most people have a complex "I know". Unless one gives up the “I know” business, he can't get rid of the ideas "which are full of contradictions . But those who do not want the truth, do not see the contradictions and are satisfied with their accepted truth.
The modern science is based on the physical based facts, whereas truth is based on facts of the true existence . The pursuit of starts with the physical facts, but carries its inquiry deeper. Seeker has to go more deeply into investigating his own existence facts he becomes a Gnani, automatically, merely by deeper reflection. Mind merges into soul ultimately and there is no other way for it.
Many people quote non-duality doctrine without understanding it really in its highest aspect. One who calls himself a Gnani, but whose philosophy is really religion and mere quoting scriptures by heart he thinks he is a Gnani. he does not know that what scriptures says is true or not because he is blindly accepted scriptures without verifying them and he quotes them as proof .
There are conflicting teachings in spiritual path and one gets confused as to which are true. People are not capable of knowing ,which path is true path , because they do not know the proper test of truth.
There is no doubt many masters have given valuable contribution to
seeking world but none of them take one to the ultimate end . Thus seeker has to verify on his own remove
the entire obstacle, which is blocking his realization on his own. There is no need to criticize any teacher or
Guru and waste time instead seeker has to utilize the same time to acquire self-knowledge through deeper
self-search.
Truth means certainty. If there is any uncertainty it is not truth. It
does not deal with imaginations. People do not have the scientific attitude
because they take things as presented to them. They have rather the emotional
and sentimental attitude. The correct attitude is to verify all the facts, to
see a problem in them, something to investigate and inquire into them.
Truth must be verifiable; unless it is verifiable it is of no value.
Those who lack the capacity to doubt are not fit for pursuit of truth.
Analogical, inductive and deductive reasoning are good only within the
physical existence; none are absolutely and universally infallible because they
are based on the physical self.
The religion is based on the blind belief. But in pursuit of truth the
Doubt is the main ingredient.
Most people have the desire to know the truth but the capacity to
understand and assimilate it is limited. The result is that people resolve the
conflict by jumping to the first and simplest and easiest conclusion as the
correct one, and smugly but unjustifiably thinking “I know”: Thus they commit
the fallacy of primitivity.
The seeker needs proof to accept
anything as truth. Every guru
intellectuals, pundit or yogi statements have to be verified before accepting
them as ultimate truth or Brahman. Their claims have to be verified before
accepting them as truth.
Ultimate truth or Brahman cannot be known by intuition but it can be
grasped from the reason based on the true self. Therefore, there is a need to
know first the self is not physical but the formless consciousness. Then start
reasoning on the base of the formless consciousness, all the clouds and
confusion starts clearing on its own and finally one will have no confusion left to say the
illusion as whole is spirit.
Everyone’s inner work leads towards new understanding and
realization. When doubts crops up and
when one does not get a reasonable reasoning for his doubts from the other source, then only he
indulges in his own personal research,
and try to investigate, and then only
he becomes aware of
the truth. As he goes deeper and deeper into the subject the truth will
start reveal.
At every stage of life, wherever one turns or goes, ignorance meets him.
One always worries what is going to
happen in the future to him, or to the world? What will happen to the money if
he deposits it, will it be safe? What is happening inside his body? What is the
ultimate condition of this this world? He will not get answers. Because futures
have yet come, he is thinking of the past and future fears in the present. The
present is always built on past and survives on the hopes of the future. But when one becomes aware of the fact that
time is mere illusion and one which is aware of the time is timeless existence,
which is the consciousness. To overcome
the sense of time one has to realize the one which is aware of the form and
space also is consciousness. Thus
consciousness alone is real and form, time and space are unreal because they
are one in essence.
