N: "The waking experience is unreal"
Mr santthosh .
Is there not a danger in saying that the real is unreal? An automobile coming at you is real but if you call it an illusion what happens?
If an automobile coming at you in the dream, it remained reality until the waking took place. Similarly, if an automobile coming at you in waking experience will prevail as reality until wisdom dawns. The wisdom dawns when one becomes fully aware of the fact that the self no physical but self is the formless spirit.
The individual experiences happening within the waking or dream are reality within the waking or dream, but all the three states are mere illusion on the standpoint of the substance from which they have been created. The truth is the substance not the product, which has been created out of the substance. The product is mere illusion. Only when one becomes aware of the unreal nature of the mind, which appears as waking or dream [duality] disappears as deep sleep [non-duality].
If one knows the truth, then only he becomes aware of what is real and what is unreal. Without knowing what is truth, how can anyone know what is untruth.
Without being aware of the fact that, the self is not physical but it is formless spirit, how can anyone know the birth, life, death and world are mere illusion. Only after deeper verification through inquiry, analysis and reasoning one becomes aware of the fact that, the self is not physical but it is formless spirit. Therefore, whatever, seen, known, believed and experienced as a person of the world becomes mere illusion, on the standpoint of the formless self [soul]. Therefore, one has to makes sure of the fact that, the self is not the waking entity [physical entity], which is limited the waking experience alone but the self is formless. Only after realizing the self is formless, and then only one will know all the three states, which appear and disappear in succession, are mere illusion and the formless substance and witness of three states, is the formless soul. On the standpoint of the formless soul, there is nothing exits other then itself.
