Those who assert world is reality, are still in elementary stages of preliminary analysis.

Where is the body, where is mind, where is the world; the void; or despair in the true self, which the taintless soul or consciousness. They are or have becomes consciousness. 

One thinks there is mind when he has thoughts, but when thoughts are not considered different from the consciousness, which is the true self, then where is the division into, waking, dream and deep sleep etc. 

Void implies to duality: the universe may not exist but the thought of the second is there.  If one knows there is Void [emptiness/nothingness], then there is something there to be known and know. They are or have become consciousness.   

What are scriptures, what is self-knowledge, what is mind without the objects, what is contentment, and where is desirelessness for the formless soul/true self, which is ever devoid of sense of duality.

What is knowledge? What is ignorance? What is the ego? What is duality? What is mind? What is bondage? What is liberation?  What is definableness to the formless self/soul, which is in the form of consciousness?

All theses appearances are mere mirage, which come and go; hence meaningless to the formless soul/true self.

The ego based knowledge is not ultimate knowledge because ego based knowledge is dualistic knowledge based on the object [body] as subject. But in non-dualistic Knowledge whatever seems to exist also is consciousness; therefore there is no scope for the existence of the second thing.       

What is past karmas? What is liberation –in this life? and what is that liberation at death? for the birth- less soul, which is  ever formless. 

Nearest state to understand the soul by itself is to eliminate mentally waking and dream as in deep sleep.   Once this is grasped one has to understand everything is consciousness, which is the true self.

What is the doer or the enjoyer?  What is cessation of thoughts or rising of thoughts? What is immediate perception and its result to, the formless soul, which is ever impersonal.  A Gnani is the one who is never afraid of thinkng and knowing all his individual experience and the world to be consciousness.

What is the world and what is meant by the aspirant for liberation; what is contemplative and what is man of knowledge; what the self is and what liberated self to the formless soul, which is the non-dual essence.   

When we analyze the dream experience we find the dream entity, dream world with all people in it appeared as a whole, and the dream reality lasted until waking experience appeared. When one tries to know the truth of his true existence in waking through inquiry, analysis and reasoning, one becomes aware of the fact that, the self is not physical but it is formless soul, which is in the form of consciousness which is the essence of the three states from which the three states are made.  Thus the illusions of the three states are made of one single substance, which is consciousness.  By realizing the formless substance, which is consciousness as self, the ignorance vanishes  and one become aware of the fact that the three states are mere illusion on the standpoint of the formless substance ,which is also the witness of the three states.

When knows the soul as the true self:

What are projection and retraction, what are end and means; what are failure and success to the formless soul, which is formless and nondual in its nature. The mirage appears and merges back into its essence is not an appearance at all.

What is the knower, the means of knowledge, the object of knowledge; what is anything or nothing to the soul which is ever formless.  Knower, knowledge, object, thing, nothing or any word one may utter is after all they are the words and words have meaning only within the mirage.  The consciousness is ever present in all the three states but as a person, one is unconscious of the consciousness because he thinks the body as his self.

When all knowing, known and knower are simultaneously mental as in dream what else is there to trouble about understanding them. Because of   considering the waking experience as reality one is incapable of understanding and assimilating the nondual truth.  

What is the distraction? What is the concentration, dullness ad delusion, happiness and sorrow to the formless soul, which is ever actionless.

As a person one may be drawn to observe his body and the world, but the Gnani is not disturbed by because they all are consciousness to him.

 The physical attributes are nothing to do with the soul/self wrongly; all the attributes belong to the ego not the soul.  Identifying the physical attribute to the soul is the cause of the ignorance.

What is relative? What is absolute happiness and misery to the formless soul, which is ever devoid of thought and activity?

If anything has a meaning it is only in duality. Happiness and sorrow are the nature of duality, which is mind, there differences therefore illusory on the standpoint of the formless soul, which is ultimate reality.      

What is illusion? What is ignorance? What are birth, life and death? What is world? What is attachment and what is detachment to the soul/self, which is ever formless. 

The mind and soul are one in essence ultimately. All argument about consciousness never touches it.  The soul is not the ego in this particular body but principle which holds the whole physical existence [universe], which contains everyone and everything known and unknown. All words have no place and thoughts cannot reach. Even the thought of the soul or consciousness is just illusory and contradictory, because the thought and words belong to the world of duality.

What is activity or inactivity, liberation and bondage to the formless soul/self, which is ever immutable and indivisible.  There is no division into nations, races and colours of kinds of men in wisdom.  It is not enough to but one must always see the formless soul [consciousness] as self and the witness the witness of all the three states and always realize and practice it.   Some people get glimpses of truth and lose it; so it must be established. Such fixidity is the goal.     

What is instruction and scriptural injunction? What is disciple and guru? What indeed is object of life for the formless soul, which is absolute and free from limitation?

Life is with world. World is within the waking or dream, the illusory limitation. When there is no second other than consciousness, then what is there for the soul /self to attain? But when one thinks the self is physical, then there is various things he will want to get and so be trouble by their lack. Hence don’t wrongly imagine the self to be the body.  

What is existence, non existence, unity or duality? What need us there to say more? Noting from the soul because whatever seems to emanate from it, is non-different from itself.  There is no second thing other then the soul, which is in the form of consciousness. One should not mistake self [soul] for the ego.

Those who assert world is reality, are still in elementary stages of preliminary analysis. The world is reality within the waking experience but the waking experience is mere illusion. The same way the dream world was reality within the dream experience.    The dream became unreal when waking took place same way waking becomes unreal when nondual wisdom dawns.

By studying various scriptures one cannot be established in the true self, which is consciousness

By studying various scriptures one cannot be established in the true self, which is consciousness [soul] unless he drops all accumulated knowledge. Scriptures and yoga are preliminary steps but they are not the means to acquire self-knowledge or nondual truth.

Getting certainty and irrefutable proof of our true existence without dogmatic assertion and assumption and speculation is the attitude of true seeker. One has to know the self in the truth.

All the study of scriptures and texts and teachings has to be dropped when one becomes aware of the fact that, the self is not physical but self is the soul [consciousness].  One must think of always of the soul [consciousness] the witness of the three states; rather then the three states.    

One may enjoy work or practice meditation but he will still yarn of that which is beyond all imagination ,all thinking and  the objects and  in which all the desire are extinguished.  The subconscious goal of one’s search can only be non-duality. 

Many seekers are unhappy because they exert themselves by running one teacher to another, one scripture to another, one teaching to another and when they don’t find the truth, they are in uncertainty, they are unable to accept anything else as truth, because they are sentimentally and emotionally involved with the teacher or teaching. And they are unable to drop them, and also unable to accept any new truth.   They are interested only which please or attracts them and they do not make an effort to know the higher truth, which requires mental effort to understand and assimilate. They prefer the teachings which are based on imagination.           

 Both Gnani and the ignorant outwardly exerting and acting, the difference is the Gnani is soul- centric and the ignorant is egocentric.  Gnani thinks his body and the world are unreal because he is fully aware they are created out of consciousness.

 The ignorant thinks he is an individual separate from the world, and world existed prior to him, and he is born in the world afterwards. Until he has this conviction he will not be able to assimilate nondual truth.  

Activity begets attachment; and abstention from it aversion.  The one who is soul –centric is free from pair of opposites, like a child, and is thus established in the consciousness [soul/true self].   The nature of the soul is equilibrium.    The psychology proves that ego comes later in life than birth, thus the child consciousness is free and not at egocentric.

One who is egocentric is attached to the world wants to renounce it in order to avoid the miseries of life. But one who is soul- centric – he is in the world but not of it.

The one who is ego-centric feels even towards liberation and considers even the body as his own he is neither Gnani nor yogi he suffers the physical life as reality. 

Until one forgets all the accumulated knowledge he cannot be established in ultimate truth.

One has to master the self-knowledge by his own thinking, his own experiences through inquiry analysis and reasoning on the true base.

One may learn the doctrine and master them but he will not be able to realize them that is for certain, not hear say.

The man of truth does not identify his self with body but he considers the self to be the soul, which is in the form of consciousness.

The one who considers his-self as body with the name will not be able to cross the threshold of duality and he keeps experiencing the duality as reality.   Therefore, he refuses to accept the physical existence as illusion because he is in the intoxication of its reality.

Absent of mind [waking] is not wisdom

Absent of mind [waking] is not wisdom. Absent of mind is merely deep sleep or yogic Samadhi.  The mind [waking] must be present before self-knowledge can be got.  The mind [waking] must be seen as mirage to achieve this one must know “what is mind?” and “what is the substance of the mind?” 

The Self –Knowledge can be gained only after one rectifies his reasoning base from form [ego] to formless [soul].  

 The knower of truth is does no desirous of liberation because he not conscious of bondage, he does not seek freedom because he is fully aware of the fact that, soul [consciousness]   is the true self.  He has neither attraction nor aversion to worldly duty, prosperity, desire and liberation as well as life and death because he is soul- centric, he lives calm and composed on whatever subsistence comes of itself.

Being fulfilled with by the self-knowledge and the mind observed in the consciousness, lives life as any other householder performing all his worldly duties there is no attachment or nonattachment for the soul-centric and he is aware of the fact that, there is no second object or person seen as separate reality thus nonattachment is meaningless.

 The same way the reality of the dream dries up when waking takes place, the reality of the waking experience has dried up for the one who wakes in wisdom.

The soul, which is the witness of the three states, neither keeps awake, nor sleeps, nor dreams it always in its nondual supreme condition. Conditions makes no difference to the soul; presence and absence of waking or dream is no account because everything is consciousness, it loses its consciousness of waking or dream in deep sleep and recovers it in wakefulness it still knows itself to be consciousness.

It does not see the waking or dream as a second separate thing; it does not need physical apparatus to see because it is formless.
