The freedom from duality arises, when wisdom arises.






The freedom from duality arises, when wisdom arises. From wisdom will come rapture When the mind is enraptured, one is in tranquil, When one is in tranquil, he will know what is non-dual bliss because nature of the soul/self is blissful, the mind will concentrate easily Being concentrated, one will be able to see things as they really are in so seeing, he will become aware that life is a mirage being so aware, he will become free from burden and bondage .

We are discussing about the ultimate truth within the falsehood






The falsehood is cause by ignorance. We are discussing about the ultimate truth within the falsehood to know how to overcome the falsehood. Until and unless we overcome the physicality, we will not be able assimilate the non-dual truth. Thus being judgmental on the base of physicality will keeps us in the grip of duality. Until we think duality as reality the ultimate truth becomes distant dream.

If one thinks on the base of physicality it will lead him towards physicality/intellectuality. If one thinks on the base of the spirit/self it will lead him towards the spirit. Thus physical based understanding has no scope in the realm of the spirit, which is the true self.
The nondual truth is based on the formless source, from where the whole falsehood rises and subsides. Thus, one has to view and judge on the base of the source, not on the physical self, which is limited to the waking experience alone. The formless source [soul/spirit] is aware of the three states, which comes and goes in succession.

The absolute truth cannot be contained in words and concepts. Thus, merely believing in words and concepts is not the truth.

Nothing has to be accepted as truth without verifying through deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning, since your present views and judgment is based on the physical self/ego. Thus the reasoning based on the ego will yield only physical truth. Only reasoning based on the formless base/spirit base will reveal the universal truth.

One has to indulge in deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the base of the soul, which is the true self, in order to realize the fact that, the “Self “is not subject to birth, life and death. If self is not the birth entity then whatever is based on the birth entity has no value. Thus, it is erroneous to view and judge on the birth entity. Thus, it is necessary to investigate:-

With what this birth entity [body] with name functions itself as a person and perceives the world?

With what one knows himself and the world?

If body is not the self, then what is self without the body?

The body cannot function itself as a person and perceive the world without the self, the body and the world are insentient without the self/spirit, which is gives sentient to the body and the world. Without the self/spirit the body and the world are non-existent. Thus, the sprit is the subject and the body and the world are mere object. When the subject is formless then it is erroneous to judge on the base of object as subject. What is the benefit of exerting mental effort the wrong way?
Since, we are conditioned to view and judge on the base of object [body] as subject, this conditioning has to be dismantled. Therefore, repeatedly highlighting on the subject, that is everything is an illusion and the soul is the true self, the subconscious gradually becomes receptive and starts dismantling the physical base and the spirit/self/soul alone will prevail as ultimate truth.

It is difficult accept the birth, life and death as illusion






It is difficult accept the birth, life and death as illusion, just because anyone is saying or by reading some books, because the subconscious is not receptive. By repeatedly highlighting on the subject, that is everything is an illusion and the soul is the true self, then the subconscious gradually starts accepting it. Once it accepts it then stops reasoning on the base of ego, and starts reasoning on the base of the spirit/true self/soul.

Once the reasoning base is changed then it has a yardstick to judge what is truth and what is not truth and it will be able to reject the untruth. It is the subconscious/soul, which has to accept and reject what is truth and what is not truth, not the body.

On the physical base the subconscious which decides what is good and what is bad. If the reasoning base of subconscious rectified from form [ego/physical] to formless [spirit/soul] then it will be able to reject all the accumulated knowledge based on the form, and finally nothing prevails other then the true self /spirit, which is ultimate truth.

Once this self-knowledge is gained then one becomes aware in the midst of duality no second thing exists other then the spirit/self, all diversity is created out of spirit. Therefore, the illusion/diversity [matter/mind] and the true self/spirit are one in essence. Therefore there is no diversity in the realm of truth.

Since, everyone bases themselves on their individual experience and trying to find solution for their individual problem through spirituality, and searching the truth for their individual peace. But the individual experiences are happening within the waking/dream. Man is not the doer. Until man thinks himself as a doer, he will not be able to understand and assimilate the self-knowledge. The truth is hidden in the three states, because the self/soul pervades all the three states. Deeper analysis is required to dismantle physical structure. Therefore, constant reflecting on the subject is very much necessary in pursuit of truth.

We are communicating and understanding and trying to assimilate within the illusion to overcome the illusion. The purpose of spiritual path is to realize the fact that, misery and suffering experienced in the life is mere illusion. Since everyone thinks illusion as reality the suffering and pleasure become reality. Only when one becomes aware of our true identity is not physical but the formless spirit, then the illusion becomes an object and he will be able to witness on the base of the subject, which is the spirit/soul.

A well directed inquiry, analysis and reasoning will lead any serious seekers to realize the fact that, the subject is formless [soul/self/spirit] and object is form [body and the world].

The ‘I’, body, ego and the world appear together and disappear together






The ‘I’, body, ego and the world appear together and disappear together. The reason disappears when ‘I’ disappears. Since everyone thinks ‘I’ as self all these doubts and confusion arises. Whenever there is ‘I’ there is division, conflict, which is disorder.
When ‘I’ disappears then there is universal order, which alone is real, which is identified as the true “Self” or Witness of the three states. One cannot say ‘I’ alone is illusion because ‘I’ is not the body but mind, which appears as waking and dream [duality/diversity] and disappears as deep sleep [non-duality/spirit]. Thus one has to learn to view and judge the three states on the standpoint of the formless witness, in order to know “what is truth” to know “what is untruth/illusion”.
When ‘I’ is there all diversities is experienced. Absent of ‘I’ there is no experience of diversity. Thus there is a need to understand the fact that ‘I’/mind is not limited to the physical entity alone, but to the whole experience of diversity. All the confusion will be cleared when one stops his verification on the base false self [‘ego] and learns to reason on the base on the formless self [soul].

Pleasure and happiness is part of the happenings






Why limit the worldly happenings to suffering alone even pleasure and happiness is part of the happenings. All situations good or bad, suffering and happiness, negative or positive, good or evil are the happenings within the illusion/duality.
The suffering experienced in the dream becomes unreal when waking takes place. Same way the suffering experienced in waking becomes unreal when the wisdom dawns. Since the intoxication of illusion /duality is stronger then any drug and liquor it takes time dilute the intoxication with the power of wisdom. The one who thinks the life with in the waking is reality is in the grip of the illusion and experiences the duality as reality, and lives moment to moment , and disappears along with moment with all his illusory baggage.
Since everyone bases his understanding on the waking entity they will permanently think on the base of the ego and they will never cross the threshold of the duality.
All the birth, life and death are happening within the waking experience. The birth, life and death within the dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place similarly when one becomes aware of the fact that the true self is the soul, whatever seen, known, believed and experienced as a person of the world is mere mirage. The waking also is created out of the same clay from which the dream is created. The substance and witness of the three states is the self/soul, which is in the form of consciousness or spirit. The self/spirit can stay with or without the waking or dream.
When one mentally focuses his attention on the formless witness of the three states then conviction becomes firmer grows the burden and bondage of the duality will start fading and one becomes free from experiencing duality as reality. It is called awaken sleep. That is awareness of seeing all the objects as sprit in the midst of duality. Because everything [mirage] is created out of spirit, sustained by spirit finally dissolves as spirit.
The purpose of the self- knowledge is to overcome the ignorance, because the ignorance is the cause of experiencing duality as reality. By experiencing the duality as reality the birth, life and death and pain and pleasure experienced as reality.
On the stand point of the soul/self there is no me or you, or others and the world. No seeker, no seeking and no guru. There is no pain or pleasure, no path or purpose, and nothing that has to be achieved.

All appearance is soul/spirit. All that has appeared as the birth, life and death and the world is mere mirage created out of the soul/spirit/consciousness. There is no separate intelligence weaving a destiny and no choice functioning at any level. Nothing is happening, nothing has ever happened and nothing is going to happen.

The seeker of truth has to discover that which is the abiding, uncaused, unchanging, impersonal source from which the mirage /duality arises and subsides. The true self is always unaffected and apart.


All the words and thoughts are meaningful only in illusion






All the words and thoughts are meaningful only in illusion. The words, thoughts, concepts are used communication purpose within the illusion. They become meaningless when one realizes the ‘Self’ is not the ‘I’. Whatever is seen, known, believed and experienced as real on the base of ‘I’ is falsehood. Thus all the words, thoughts and experience become meaningless, when they merge with the stuff from which they have arisen.
There is no form, time and space to live in the moment. The form, time and space are mere illusion created of single stuff and illusion is witnessed by the formless witness which is the soul/spirit. One will not find any dustbin throw because ‘I’, you, others and the world ceases to exist in the realm of reality.

The individuality is reality within the illusion.





The individuality is reality within the illusion. The illusion appears as waking or dream or mind. The individuality exists only in waking and dream. In deep sleep there is neither individuality nor duality. The dream becomes falsehood when waking takes place. Same way, the waking also becomes falsehood when one realizes the Ataman/spirit, is the true self. Therefore, one has to wake up in reality/truth to know the individuality is mere illusion.
The illusion is an object to the Self/Ataman. The illusion is mere appearance and has no permanence, whereas the witness, which is the Ataman, is formless eternal. Only when one drops all his preconceived ideas, and learns to view and judge the truth on the base of the Soul/Self. The truth starts revealing itself.
J. Krishnamurti said it best "Where there is division there must be conflict, which is disorder. This is not my law but universe law".
The division is within the waking or dream, thus the conflict is within the waking/duality. In deep sleep there is no division, therefore, there is no conflict. The one which is aware of the three states is formless soul. The nature of the Soul/Self is like deep sleep.
Thus, there is a need to know the formless witness of the three states in order to realize the individuality is falsehood. It takes a long time to grasp the witness since it is mental journey and takes time to change the base of reasoning from form to formless.





The pursuit of truth is a personal journey. We have to remove all the obstacles by verifying deeply and remove all the hindrance in the way to understand assimilate the non-dual truth. Nothing has to be accepted because I am saying or some one is claiming. Everything depends on the level of understanding.
The look of an object will depend upon the medium through which the observer views it. In fact, one’s mental and intellectual conditions will determine the things observed and experienced.
An atheist viewing the idea of god differently will see it differently from the religionist viewing the same idea of god. Each one of us interprets the objects that he views in terms of his existing knowledge.
A man of truth is fully convinced and has the firm conviction that the truth lies beyond intellect. Only when one delves and becomes aware of the non-dual tranquility of the soul/true self and able to transcend consciously from his physical identification to formless identity [soul/spirit] is free from experiencing duality as reality.
The truth seeker has to check every religion and philosophy and find for himself, how they become an obstacle in pursuit of truth. I am not the propagator of Hinduism or any other religion. The religion has nothing to do with me. It is not only in Hinduism but also you find many spiritual insights in bible in Koran. Religion is based on the physical entity, whereas, spirituality is based on the soul/spirit. Therefore the religion has to be bifurcated from spirituality, because the religion is based on the body as self, whereas the spirituality is based on the soul as self.

Unity in diversity possible when one becomes aware of the fact that the whole diversity is created out of single stuff.



Unity in diversity possible when one becomes aware of the fact that the whole diversity is created out of single stuff. The diversity has no place in reality. 

Those who think they are born in a world and world exited prior to them feel the separateness. But when they realize the Self is not the body but the soul/spirit the separateness will fall away.

The birth, life and death are happenings within the illusion, which appears and disappears as waking and dream. The formless substance and witness of the illusion is the soul/true self, is real and eternal. 


Judging the truth on the base of birth entity causes the innocence of the reality. The world is within the mind and mind is not within the body. Until one thinks the mind is within the body he will be in the grip of duality. The love and compassion is tools within the duality, but they are not the means to self-knowledge. This is my conviction derived from deeper inquiry and reasoning.

Body including the world is Mind.






Body including the world is Mind. When the mind is there the body and the world are there. Since you think mind is within the body all these doubts and confusion arises. The body and the world appear together and disappear together. There is only mind/’I’ or no mind/’I’-less. Therefore, there is need to know the fact that, the mind is not limited to physical entity but to the whole experience of diversity [waking/dream].

The body and the world are not apart from the mind.






The body and the world are not apart from the mind. If mind is there then the body and the world are there. Absent of mind, is absent of body and world. Therefore limiting the mind to the physical entity alone creates the sense of separation.

For the soul, which is the true self, there is neither birth nor death.









Until one thinks he is and individual separate from the world he will remain in the grip of duality, and he will not be able to assimilate self-knowledge. The one who bases himself on the birth entity will think he is born in this world and world existed prior to him.

For the soul, which is the true self, there is neither birth nor death. Nor having once been, does it ever cease to be. It is unborn and eternal, ever existing, undying and primeval. It is does not die when the body and the world dies. The true “Self” is hidden within the three states as their formless substance and witness. 

Mind and soul are one in essence. The mind rises from the soul/self/spirit and subsides as soul/self/spirit. There is neither body nor the world in the realm of the soul/self/spirit. The body and the world is part of the waking experience. Same way as the dream body and the world are part of the dream. The body and the world of the dream or waking appear together and disappear together. The one which is aware of the appearance and disappearance of the three states is not body but the soul. Thus, on the standpoint of the soul/self, the three states are unreal, because the experience of diversity is mere mirage created out of the soul/self. Therefore, there is neither the body nor the world exists when one becomes aware of the fact that, the true self is the soul.
