The day and night are reality within the physical existence[man+world].

Q:-MIND is incapable of GRASPING truth, because of its dualistic [PAIR LIKE] functionality.

DAY and NIGHT.

Mind can understand Day in comparison to NIGHT.

A:- The day and  night are reality within the physical existence[man+world]. The witness of the physical existence is formless and apart. Deeper inquiry, analysis and reasoning revels he fact that the self is not physical. If self is not physical then who(what) dreamt, who(what] slept ,and who(what) got up? Only when one  analyzes the three states he becomes aware of the fact that,  the dream was witnessed as a whole without the physical apparatus and the same witness witnessed the waking experience as a whole.  Thus, judging the truth on the waking entity is erroneous, because waking entity is limited to waking experience alone and  in dream it has a different identity and in deep sleep there was no identity.  Therefore, the one which is aware of the three states which comes and goes is apart and permanent.  

 The formless witness has to  be mentally traced and  grasped. If one is sharp enough he will grasp it instantly.  for others it takes time they have to to reflect on the subject constantly until their conviction becomes firm.      

Truth means certainty. If there is any uncertainty it is not truth. It does not deal with imaginations. People  do not have  the scientific attitude because they take things as presented to them. They have rather the emotional and sentimental  attitude. The correct  attitude is to verify all the facts, to see a problem in them, something to investigate and inquire into them.

Truth must be verifiable; unless it is verifiable it is of no value.  Analogical, inductive and deductive reasoning are good only within the physical existence; none are absolutely and universally infallible because they are based on the physical self.  Whatever is based on the waking entity leads to imagination and speculation not towards non dual reality.

The man and his experience of the world is not separate from the mind. When one limits the mind to physical entity and views and judges the worldview all these confusion arises. Therefore, there is a need to know the fact that, the self is not physical but it is formless.  When this is fact is traced then all accumulated knowledge based on the physical self becomes dross.  Thus Self-knowledge is necessary to burn all the dross.

Anyone who is ready to drop the physical based/egocentric  accumulated dross and has a urge to no the truth will be able to grasp it  if  his reasoning  base is rectified from form to formless and well directed.   

One has to overcome all the obstacle in pursuit of truth. This is possible only when one is free from “I KNOW” –business and has the humility to verify the facts.   There is a need to stop judging on base of the accumulate egocentric  knowledge, which  makes one to imagine and  speculate.  It takes time to learn to view and judge the three states  on the base of the formless witness. Once one is able to view and judge the three states on the base of formless witness, then one will  have the yardstick to know “what is truth” and “what is untruth” and he will be  able to mentally reject the untruth or illusion.   

Is soul different from us?

Is soul different from us?

There is no second thing exist other then the soul, which is in the form of consciousness. To understand what is the soul , one has  to know the source of the physical existence/mind [man his experience of the world] from where it rises and subsides. When one becomes aware of the formless  source of the mind,  then he becomes aware of the fact that, the physical existence is mere mirage created out of the soul/self/consciousness. Therefore, the diversity is mere mirage. There is no second thing exists other then the consciousness or call it whatever.......    

When the duality is accepted as reality then they accepted the birth, life and death also as reality.

Even to this day many people believe in the mythological  stories; that is because  they are still in ignorance.  And they firmly  believe the experience of duality(universe)  as reality.  When the duality is accepted as reality then they accepted the birth, life and death also as reality. When they accepted the birth ,life and death as reality, then  they base themselves on the birth entity. When the birth entity is accepted as self , then they think they are individual separate from the world.  This individuality is the cause of ignorance. Ignorance is an obstacle in bringing unity in diversity.     

Till scriptures  or mystical  claim is proved to be to be true it is of no value. Till  it is proved   to be truth one must not accept it. But people are  of sheepish mentality, they are stuck to their inherited ideas , they are easily duped by the god men  who claim to know God. They are deceived by the fallacy of authority, whether it be outer or inner, and do not judge for themselves as to what is true or not. This shows that peoples  mentality is still primitive, so they do not want to accept anything other then heir inherited truth.

Logic leads to physical  truth; it cannot lead one  to ultimate/spiritual  truth. The reason alone can guide one towards the non-dual truth. When logic is applied beyond its proper limits, i.e. worldly  life, it becomes absurd. The religionist  are examples of this absurdity, when they say one  cannot have a watch without a watchmaker and hence a world without a creator. It is a misapplication of such logic to apply it to matters outside its proper sphere of use. 

Universe will not remain as reality when wisdom dawns. Universe is mere mirage created out of consciousness and there is unity in diversity because there is no second thing exist other than consciousness.

One thinks he is imprisoned within this body; whereas the body and his experience of the world are within the mind. The consciousness is hidden within the three states but it is without the three states.  The one, which has the awareness of the three states, is not the body but the soul, which is in the form of consciousness. Thus consciousness is not limited to waking experience alone because it pervades all the three states. Till one views and judges the world-view on base of ego he is in the grip of individuality or intellectuality.  The self is not an individual because it is universal. And it pervades in everything and everywhere in all the three states. Thus individualized judgment will not lead one non-dual destination.  

 That is why Sage Sri, Sankara says in (VC)-65:-  As a treasure hidden underground requires (for its extraction) competent instruction, excavation, the removal of stones and other such things lying above it and (finally) grasping, but never comes out by being (merely) called out by name, so the transparent Truth of the self, which is hidden by Maya and its effects, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, followed by reflection, meditation and so forth, but not through perverted arguments.

66. Therefore the wise should, as in the case of disease and the like, personally strive by all the means in their power to be free from the bondage of repeated births and deaths.

Thus,  one has to know what is real by realizing our body and our experience of the world is mere illusion created out of consciousness, which the inner most self.  The nature of the self is emptiness. And it is identified by different masters with different name, such as Brahman, Buddha’s nature, Christ consciousness, Self, Ultimate Truth.

One knows everything of everything within the waking experience.

Spirit or soul or consciousness is the innermost self. consciousness is the ultimate truth or Brahman.  brahman or ultimate  truth cannot be known  by intuition but it can be grasped from the soul-centric   reasoning .  Therefore, there is a need to know first the self is not physical but the self is formless soul. seeker has to start reasoning on the base of the formless  soul,  the innermost self . Then only all the clouds and confusion starts clearing on its own and finally on will have no confusion left to say the illusion as whole is spirit.

One knows everything  of everything  within the waking experience. The physical apparatus is absent in deep sleep,  so he cannot know anything by intuition, Because  there is no duality in deep sleep. This proves that the duality is present only in waking or dream. And also   it proves that if there be such a faculty as intuition it must be limited to the physical self. People speak  the supra-mental consciousness, who or what is there, to discover it because the mind is not there? It is an absurd statement.

The psychological writings of mystics and the pseudo-scientific explanations are not inferences from the facts of their mystic experiences but mere imaginations.

The mystic who says he has cosmic consciousness implies that he has astral traveled  and seen that this consciousness was also there in the astral world; even if we take his experiences as reality there is no truth in it because it is also mirage within the mirage. Until the duality persists the non-dual reality will not be revealed.  

 

By becoming more and more intellectual one becomes more and more intoxicated to individuality. The intellectuality is limited to duality.  In realm of truth the intellectuality is replaced by non-dual wisdom.  There is nothing exist other than formless non dual existence. Therefore, there is   no individual to become sane or insane. There is no second thing exists, other than consciousness.  Everything is one, that is, unity in diversity. The curiosity, urge cannot be imposed on others.  it has to sprout within. One need not become holy Shepard because the holy Shepard is within in to guide every seeker. Until one is aiming to be a master, Guru or teacher, he will never reach his destination. One has to share his knowledge with the fellow seeker not to make them his followers but only direct them if they are interested to travel beyond form, time and space.  it is foolish to impose our idea on others because everyone is not in same level of understanding.  Every one's inner work is on. When they are ripe enough they will understand, assimilate and realize on their own.  If they are ready and sharp enough they will grasp it instantly and they will reach their destination with lesser time and effort. Thus preaching, teaching is not wisdom, but by very careful reasoning, seeker has to determine the nature of reality. Thinking in right direction alone helps seeker determining the nature of reality.

The sugar cannot know itself its sweetness. The true self without ignorance is without the experience of duality or illusion. Thus one has to base on the sugar not on its sweetness. Without the sugar there is no sweetness. Similarly without the consciousness, the three states cease to exist as reality.
