What witnessed the dream as a whole, if ‘the witness of the dream is not the physical

Only through deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning one becomes aware of the fact that, the formless substance and witness of the mind is the true self.

Only through inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the true base the truth will start unfolding.

v  Who or what sees various objects, scenes and persons during the dreams without the physical apparatus?

v  If the dream world was without the witness, it is impossible to witness it. Then what witnessed the dream as a whole,  if ‘the witness of the dream is not the physical?

Therefore, one has to come to firm conclusion and then conviction through inquiry and reasoning.

The one that witnesses the dream as a whole is also witnesses the Waking experience as a whole, it is also aware of the deep sleep experience. But it is apart from the three states because it is not an entity or identity within the waking or dream.

Man experiences the world within the mind which appears as waking or dream and disappears as deep sleep.  Therefore the formless witness of the three states is within the three states as their formless substance and it is without the three states as their formless witness.  

Only through deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning on the true base the nondual truth can be grasped and the formless witness can be traced grasped.

The true self is not “He” or “She” but it is “It”.

If ‘I’ is not the physical body, what is it?

Since the sense of ‘I’ is present only when the mind is present and it disappears along with mind. The seeker will come to conclusion after thoroughly verifying this fact through inquiry, analysis and reasoning and then come to firm conviction that ‘I’ is mind.

If ‘I’ is mind and in turn mind is experience of duality. The mind, ‘I’, experience of duality, waking or dream are one and the same thing.  Seeker has to identify ‘I’ as mind and “Mind as a waking or dream” and ego as “Seeking Mind” in order to assimilate the self knowledge.  Seeker has to be aware of the fact that, the true self is not “He” or “She” but it is “It”.

It is wrong to identify the self as he or she because it refers to physicality. The self is genderless because it is formless. Identifying “Self” as he or she, leads to all sorts’ of doubts and confusion.  When the self is identified as he or she it becomes physical self /ego.

When the ego is not the self, it is erroneous to judge the truth on the base of ego/physical self and come to some conclusion of finality on the physical base is erroneous because the truth is prior appearance of the physical existence. Thus, the truth has to be judged on the ultimate point of view, not on the base of what appeared later on.

Man has been conditioned to think and be and behave and believe and live as an individual separate from the world. Therefore, the self has been identified with physical body with the name within the waking experience.

The ‘mind’ is the Waking or dream experience. The Waking or dream is not the experience of the physical body but of the Soul/Self. The man and his world are within the mind; therefore mind is not within the brain. This has to be understood to assimilate the self-knowledge. Without understanding this fact the assimilation is impossibility.  

The nature of the Self is formless non-dual.  The nature of the mind is duality or diversity. The self is the formless substance of the mind /duality /diversity. Therefore, the whole experience of the diversity created out of single stuff.  Therefore, there is no division in ultimate standpoint is the self ,which in the form of consciousness. Viewing the worldview on the base of the physical self is the cause of division and separation.  

  When the seekers become aware of the fact that the true self is not physical but the soul, he becomes aware of the fact that the mind is mere illusion.  The one who is ignorant of the true self experiences the duality as reality.

A person perceives the world within the mind.  Absent of mind is absent of waking or dream. Thus waking or dream is mind.

One thinks he is an individual separate from the world within the mind. He is unaware of the fact that the mind is not within his brain, but he and his experience of the world are within the mind.  Thus, he thinks he is born in this world and world existed prior to him. Thus this conviction makes him believe the birth, life and death as reality.  Until this conviction is thee he will   views and judges the worldview on the physical base, which is the cause of ignorance of the fact that, the true self is the soul.

This ignorance of the true self is the main hurdle in pursuit of truth. Therefore, it is very much necessary to rectify the seeking base from physical [form] to spirit [formless] before proceeding further in pursuit of truth.

If the seeking base is not rectified it will lead one towards hallucination. When the mind itself is myth then the man and his experience of the world is bound to be myth. Therefore perfect understanding of the mind will help one to unfold the mystery of the mind.  It is impossible to unfold the truth on the base of false self within the false experience, because the truth is prior to the appearance of the falsehood.  And falsehood creates ignorance.

Seeker has to burn down the ignorance by rectifying the base of reasoning by realizing the fact that self is not physical but it is the spirit.

Deeper penetration through inquiry and reasoning is very much necessary to unfold the truth.

1        How one does comes to know that he exists?

2        Because of what?

3        What is it that experiences or witnesses the Waking state, when the physical body and the world is within the Waking state?

4        If ‘Self’ is not the physical then who witnesses the three states which comes and goes in succession?

5        If the witness is not the physical then what is it that is aware of the experiences of all thee states?

6        What is that I aware of the dual and nondual experiences?

7        Prior to appearance of the experience of duality and disappearance of experience of duality what exists? If nothing exists then what is it that is aware of that nothingness where there is no second thing exists?

8        What is it? 

It is very much necessary to inquire the nature of the mind to unfold the mystery of the existence.

Only when the appearance of the mind one becomes aware that he is the person perceiving the world. Physical existence is limited only to the Waking or dream. Mind ceases to exist in deep sleep. The question is prior to appearance of the mind; duality was non-existent only there was non-dual existence.

Only after appearance of the mind, man and his experience of the world are present in it. Therefore,

1        What is it that becomes mind and subsides as soul/sprit?

2        Why the individuality, personality and separateness are only present when the mind is present?

3        Why there are wants, needs, desire, hope pleasure, pain birth, and death only when the mind is present?

4        Why the sense of duality disappears when there is no mind?

Therefore, through investigation is very much necessary to unfold the truth. In preliminary inquiry, one becomes aware of the fact that ‘I’ is not the physical. Therefore, it is erroneous to search the truth on the base of the physical self.  Deeper penetration through inquiry and reasoning is very much necessary to unfold the truth.
