Until one bases on the ‘I’ he will never get the truth
Until one bases on the ‘I’ he will never get the truth. Until one thinks himself he is an individual apart from the world he will never be able to know what is real and what is unreal. The dream becomes unreal when waking takes place and waking becomes unreal when one becomes aware of the fact that ‘I’ is not the self. Thus inquiring on the base of ‘I’, which is the false self, will keeps one in the realm of intellectuality.
In the realm of the true self /spirit, there is no search, no enlightenment, and no self realization, because the true self/soul alone exists all else is illusion. Until one thinks he is the doer everything in the duality appears to be real. The moment one becomes aware the seer [subject] and the seen [object] are one is essence the duality is lost, and whatever prevails is the ultimate truth.
If one has an intense urge then only he will search for truth. The ultimate truth cannot be approached until one becomes aware of the fact that, whatever appeared is false and the formless substance and witness of the appearance is real.
If one has no intense urge he thinks - everything is truth on the base of false self, not realizing he is basing his-self on the false self /ego [‘I’] and experiences the duality as reality, and passes his judgments on the false physical self, which is mere intellectuality. The non-dual truth is beyond intellectuality.
When deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning reveal the fact that, neither the body nor the ‘I’ is the true self, then what is the use of inquiring on the base of false self, and imagining and concluding the truth. Thus it is necessary to know the true fact that, ‘I’ is not the true self, but the true self is the formless knower/witness of the ‘I’.
Thus, whatever conclusion, understanding and assimilation based on the false self [‘I’] is bound to be falsehood. Therefore, discussing and arguing on the base of false self is like –trying to drain the ocean drop by drop.
