True self is without the attributes and it is the knower of the attributes ,which is in the form of universe or mind. The mind or universe is mere mirage on the standpoint of the attribute-less self ,which is in the form of consciousness. Thus, mind or universe is myth on the standpoint of the true self . The consciousness can remain with or without the mind or universe , whereas the mind or universe is dependent on consciousness for its existence.
Awakening is nothing but a complete, perfect understanding and assimilation of what is what. A clear cut understanding of a ‘what is what’ is awakening. Reality is not to be achieved; it is there as it is. After this perfect understanding assimilation and realization, nothing is required.
And we expect "awakening" to be some great, mysterious happening! "Reality is not to be achieved; it is there” as it is, as unchangeable existence within the changeable illusion.
To know the non-dual
Reality, deeper thinking is required. The thinking faculty ceases and becomes
still when it reaches the source of the mind. One has to realize the waking
entity is false self within the false experience from the ultimate standpoint.
Where there is no experience then there is no
duality where there no duality then there is no second thing exist other than
the self-awareness. Therefore seeker has
indulge in deeper self-search and trace and overcome the obstacles. For the sincere
and serious seekers the inner grace will guide until the ignorance vanishes and
he becomes aware of the fact that the diversity [universe or Illusion] is mere
mirage created out of consciousness [Atman].
Waking experience
in which a person perceives the world doesn't exists as real in reality
because, everything is consciousness, and apart from consciousness there is
nothing in the waking experience.
Whatever is thought
of within the waking experience makes Him something other than what He is. When
the waking experience ends, what happens? It is consciousness alone prevails
without the three states.
Awakening is nothing but a complete, perfect understanding and assimilation of what is what. A clear cut understanding of a ‘what is what’ is awakening. Reality is not to be achieved; it is there as it is. After this perfect understanding assimilation and realization, nothing is required.
And we expect "awakening" to be some great, mysterious happening! "Reality is not to be achieved; it is there” as it is, as unchangeable existence within the changeable illusion.
