Belief system is meant people of lower and middling intellect, while wisdom is for those of sharp enough to grasp the beyond.
The belief system preaches that God
is one and the ways to God are many. It simply tries to lead them to darkness
with its dogma and idea of many gods, which is apart from the self.
The eternal truth within the
universe [mind] and it is without the universe [mind]. Direct knowledge of self
can be acquired by one through the Self while realizing the Self. Self-
realization is the essence of human existence. Where there is unity, one
without a second; there is world of non-dual reality. The non-dual truth is ultimate
truth. And ultimate truth itself is God.
The god and guru are part of the illusory world;
therefore the devotee and disciple also are also part of the illusion.
Accepting the birth, life and death as reality, is accepting the illusion as
reality. Accepting illusion as reality is the cause of the ignorance. Ignorance
makes one feel the duality as reality. The duality makes one feel he is an
individual separate from the world. This
separation makes one feel the birth, life and death as reality. The person who bases on the birth, life and
death is trying to find the meaning of life. There is no meaning or purpose of
the life, because the life is mere happening within the illusion. Thus the karma based on the physical entity
is based on the birth, life and death, which is part and parcel of the
illusion.
The experience of varied consciousness-states proves that none of them can be considered to be real, if one judges it on the ultimate point of view.
If one was asleep and dreamt he was an elephant, and then awoke to find himself to be a priest, how will he know if he was an elephant dreaming he was a man or am a man dreaming he was elephant?
